How to consume Beef Meatballs without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of beef meatballs. Smaller portions tend to have a lesser impact on blood sugar levels.
Pair with Fiber-rich Vegetables
Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale to slow down glucose absorption.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil to help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Incorporate Whole Grains
Pair the meatballs with whole grains like quinoa or barley, which digest more slowly than refined grains.
Opt for Complex Carbohydrates
If you need a carb side, choose options like lentils or chickpeas, which are digested slower.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water during your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew your food well, as eating slowly can prevent spikes in blood sugar.
Add a Protein Source
Consider including a protein-rich food such as a small portion of beans or a boiled egg as part of your meal.
Use Alternative Sauces
Avoid high-sugar sauces with your meatballs and opt for tomato-based options without added sugars.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to assist in stabilizing blood sugar levels.
