How to consume beet soup (borscht), boiled egg, feta cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of each ingredient in your meal. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale. These foods are rich in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Consider adding a small amount of avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you plan to add any bread to your meal, opt for whole-grain or rye bread. These options are better for managing blood sugar spikes.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate lean protein sources such as grilled chicken or turkey breast. Protein can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your beet soup or as a dressing for a side salad. These acidic additions can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This can improve digestion and reduce the rapid absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after your meal, to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming the boiled egg and feta cheese as a starter. This can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels when you consume the beet soup afterward.
