How to consume boiled egg, portuguese tomato rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the Portuguese tomato rice. Smaller portions can help in managing the spike better.

Balanced Plate

Pair your meal with low-carb, high-fiber vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or zucchini. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Protein Addition

Include a source of lean protein like grilled chicken or fish. This can stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado or nuts. Fats can improve satiety and also help in managing glucose spikes.

Fiber Boost

Incorporate beans or lentils into your meal. Their high fiber content can aid in reducing rapid glucose absorption.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal to help slow digestion and absorption.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can prevent overeating and give your body time to process the food more effectively.

Post-Meal Activity

Take a short walk after eating. This can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Pre-Meal Preparation

Consider having a salad with vinegar-based dressing before the main meal. This can help in moderating the rise in glucose levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your glucose levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect your blood sugar and make necessary adjustments.
