How to consume beef empanadas without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or green beans. The fiber in these veggies can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Proteins
Add a portion of lean protein such as grilled chicken breast or a boiled egg. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts. Fats can slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Consider Portion Control
Eating smaller portions of the empanadas can help manage the glucose spike more effectively.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Hydration can aid in better digestion and metabolism.
Opt for Whole Grain Options
If possible, choose empanadas made with whole grain or whole wheat dough to increase fiber content.
Go for a Walk After Eating
Light physical activity can help reduce blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake by muscles.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to enhance digestion and prevent overeating.
Include Vinegar or Lemon Juice
A small amount of vinegar or lemon juice can be added to salads or as a dressing, which may help lower the rise in glucose levels.
