How to consume Burrito With Chicken, Beans And Cheese without glucose spikes
Pair with Vegetables
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, or mixed greens, to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Whole Grains
If possible, opt for a whole grain or whole wheat tortilla instead of a refined flour one, as it is absorbed more slowly.
Add Healthy Fats
Include sources of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Choose Lean Proteins
Ensure that the chicken in your burrito is lean and grilled rather than fried, as fats from frying can contribute to spikes.
Opt for Black Beans
Use black beans or other low-glycemic beans to substitute or complement the beans in your burrito for better blood sugar control.
Limit Cheese Quantity
Use a moderate amount of cheese to avoid excessive saturated fat, which can affect insulin sensitivity.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as proper hydration can aid digestion and glucose management.
Chew Thoroughly
Take time to chew your food slowly and thoroughly. This aids in better digestion and can help prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Consider Portion Control
Reduce portion size by cutting the burrito in half and saving the rest for later, which helps in managing calorie and carbohydrate intake.
Walk After Eating
Take a short walk after your meal to help promote glucose uptake by your muscles and reduce blood sugar spikes.
