Beef Curry (1 Cup) and Cooked Rice (1 Cup, Cooked)

Reduce the cooked rice portion and replace part of it with cauliflower rice or extra non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, green beans, or broccoli.

Choose brown basmati rice or parboiled basmati rice in a smaller serving instead of regular white rice.

Start the meal with a salad of leafy greens, cucumber, tomato, and lemon or vinegar-based dressing before eating the curry and rice.

Increase the beef curry’s vegetable content with low-starch options such as eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage, or mushrooms.

Avoid sweetened curry sauces, added sugar, and sugary drinks; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk shortly after the meal to help blunt the post-meal rise.
