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.
