Reduce the portion size of chili con carne, beans, and rice to limit carbohydrate intake, which helps in preventing spikes in blood sugar levels.

Incorporate more fiber-rich foods, such as adding a side of leafy green vegetables or a salad, which can slow down the absorption of sugar.

Substitute white rice with brown rice, which has a lesser impact on blood sugar.

Use lentils or chickpeas instead of traditional beans, as they have a milder effect on blood sugar levels.

Add a small serving of healthy fats, like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts, which can help slow glucose absorption.

Include a lean protein source, such as grilled chicken or fish, to balance the meal and reduce its overall impact on blood glucose.

Take your time eating, as this can help your body better manage blood sugar levels by giving it more time to process the food.

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as proper hydration supports optimal digestion and blood sugar control.

Use cinnamon or turmeric in your chili, as these spices have properties that may help regulate blood sugar.

Consider the timing of your meal in relation to physical activity; engaging in a light walk after eating can aid in stabilizing blood glucose levels.
