How to consume Boiled Potato without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of boiled potatoes you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes to your meal. This can help slow down the digestion process and the release of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts. These can also slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or a salad. The fiber content can help moderate blood sugar effects.

Choose Vinegar-Based Dressings

Use a vinegar-based dressing on your salad or vegetables. The acetic acid in vinegar has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Pre-Meal Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity before your meal, such as a short walk. This can improve your body's ability to manage blood sugar levels.

Hydrate

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help your body better process glucose.

Cook and Cool

Consider cooking and then cooling the potatoes (e.g., in a potato salad). Cooling changes the starch structure, forming resistant starch, which is digested more slowly.

Spice it Up

Add spices like cinnamon or turmeric to your meal. These spices are thought to have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, allowing your body to better regulate the digestion process and glucose release.
