How to consume carbonara without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the serving size of carbonara. Smaller portions can help minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach or broccoli, to your meal. The added fiber can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Balance with Protein

Include a lean protein source, such as grilled chicken or fish, alongside your pasta to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole-Grain Pasta

Opt for whole-grain or legume-based pasta instead of regular pasta. These options digest more slowly and can reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or nuts, into your meal. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body process carbohydrates more effectively.

Incorporate Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, to your salad or meal. It may help improve blood sugar control.

Engage in Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness signals. Mindful eating can prevent overeating and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try eating your carbonara meal earlier in the day rather than late at night, as your body may handle carbohydrates better earlier in the day.
