How to consume Chinese starters without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the portion size of the starters. Smaller portions can help manage the overall blood sugar impact.
Choose Low-Impact Starters
Opt for starters like spring rolls with whole-grain wraps or steamed dumplings made with whole-wheat flour.
Incorporate Vegetables
Go for vegetable-heavy starters such as steamed broccoli or bok choy, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar.
Include Protein
Add protein-rich options like tofu skewers or steamed shrimp, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Avoid Sugary Sauces
Steer clear of sweet sauces. Instead, use soy sauce or vinegar-based dips sparingly.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and reduce the spike.
Drink Water
Have a glass of water before starting your meal to help fill you up and potentially eat less.
Balance Your Plate
Combine the starter with a small serving of brown rice or quinoa to add fiber that can help mitigate spikes.
Mind the Cooking Method
Choose steamed or grilled starters over fried ones to reduce added fats and sugars.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light exercise before eating, such as a short walk, to improve your body’s ability to handle glucose.
