How to consume Cooked Lentils, White Rice without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of cooked lentils and white rice to minimize glucose spikes.
Add Protein
Include a lean protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or olive oil to your meal. Fats can help in reducing the rate of carbohydrate absorption.
Mix with Low-Carb Vegetables
Pair cooked lentils and white rice with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. These vegetables add fiber which can help in moderating glucose levels.
Use Whole Grains
Substitute white rice with a portion of quinoa or barley, which can have less impact on glucose levels.
Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Consider adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your dish. The acidity can help in lowering the glucose response.
Cook Rice Differently
If possible, try cooking rice with extra water and let it cool before eating. Cooling and reheating rice can form resistant starch, which may lessen glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates more evenly.
Monitor Your Timing
Try consuming your meal earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at processing carbohydrates.
