How to consume Chinese starters without glucose spikes
Choose Wisely
Opt for steamed starters like dumplings instead of fried options. Steaming helps retain nutrients without adding excess oils or sugar.
Portion Control
Keep an eye on portion sizes. Enjoy smaller amounts of your selected starters to help manage blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber
Add a small side of leafy greens or a salad before your meal. Foods rich in fiber can help slow the absorption of sugars.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein like tofu or boiled soybeans with your starters. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar and keeps you feeling full.
Drink Water
Have a glass of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small serving of nuts or seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help slow down glucose absorption.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor each bite. This practice can aid digestion and give your body time to process sugars.
Avoid Sugary Sauces
Opt for light soy sauce or vinegar-based dips instead of sweet sauces like hoisin or sweet and sour.
Balance Your Meal
Pair your starters with a balanced main course that includes vegetables and lean proteins to maintain steady energy levels.
Plan Activity
Go for a brief walk after your meal. Light physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels naturally.
