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

Combine with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or kale. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small serving of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil with your meal to moderate the glucose response.

Pair with Whole Grains

Serve your meal with a small portion of whole grains like quinoa or barley to add more fiber and protein, which can help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Moderate Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of each component in your meal to avoid excessive carbohydrate intake at once.

Incorporate Protein-Rich Foods

Add a lean protein source such as grilled chicken or tofu to help balance the meal and slow carbohydrate absorption.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat, chew thoroughly, and savor your meal. This can aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal as staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Opt for Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Dress your salad or vegetables with vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice. These acids can help lower blood sugar spikes.

Have a Light Walk After Meals

Engage in a light walk or some physical activity after eating to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Your Body's Response

Keep track of how your body responds to different foods and adjust your meal components accordingly to find the combination that works best for you.
