How to consume braai + ice cream without glucose spikes

Limit Portion Sizes

Reduce the amount of braai (barbecue) meat and ice cream consumed in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. These foods help slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you are including any side dishes like bread or rice, choose whole grain options such as whole grain bread or brown rice.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil into your meal to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Lean Meats

Opt for lean cuts of meat like chicken breast or turkey instead of fattier cuts; this can help in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

Eat Protein-Rich Foods

Include foods that are high in protein, such as legumes or fish, to help balance carbohydrate intake and maintain stable glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help in managing blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body use up some of the glucose.

Monitor Timing

Try to have your meal at a consistent time each day to help your body anticipate and manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Limit Added Sugars

If making or choosing sauces for your braai, opt for those without added sugars or make your own using herbs and spices.
