How to consume chili with beans (canned) without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a protein source, such as grilled chicken or tofu, into your chili. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing blood sugar spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top of your chili. Fats can help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.

Increase Fiber

Add extra vegetables to your chili, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach. The additional fiber can help slow down the digestion process.

Portion Control

Be mindful of your portion size. Consider serving your chili with a side salad to help fill you up without overloading on carbohydrates.

Choose Low-Sugar Beans

If possible, opt for low-sugar or no added sugar canned beans. This can help reduce the overall carbohydrate content in your meal.

Add Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your chili. Vinegar has been shown to help slow the absorption of carbohydrate-rich foods.

Time Your Meals

Eat your chili with other low-carb foods, like a side of non-starchy vegetables, to balance out the meal. This can help prevent a large spike in glucose levels.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating your chili. Physical activity can help increase insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how different variations of your chili affect your blood sugar levels. This can help you identify what adjustments work best for you.
