How to consume Chinese food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of rice and noodles you consume. Opt for smaller servings to help manage blood sugar levels.

Choose Brown Rice or Quinoa

If available, choose brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. They are digested more slowly, which can help prevent spikes.

Include Protein

Add lean proteins like chicken, tofu, or shrimp to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Vegetable Dishes

Include plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, bok choy, bell peppers, and snow peas. These can help slow digestion.

Limit Sauces

Many sauces used in Chinese food contain sugar and starch. Ask for sauces on the side and use them sparingly.

Drink Water

Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water or unsweetened tea to accompany your meal.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, which can help with portion control and allow your body to better regulate blood sugar levels.

Add Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of vinegar to your meal. It may help moderate blood sugar levels after eating.

Start with a Salad

Begin your meal with a salad to fill up on fiber and potentially reduce the impact of higher-carb dishes.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Keep track of your total carbohydrate intake throughout the meal to ensure it remains within a reasonable range for your dietary needs.
