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.
