How to consume cooked rice, grilled fish without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of cooked rice to minimize the glucose spike. Even though rice is a staple, smaller servings can significantly impact glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain or brown rice instead of white rice. These options are processed less and have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Enhance the protein content by adding legumes such as lentils or beans to your meal. This not only adds to the protein but also helps in stabilizing blood sugar.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds (such as almonds or chia seeds) with your meal. These fats can reduce the rate of glucose absorption.

Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your dish. The acidity can lower the overall blood sugar response after a meal.

Cook Rice with Extra Water

Cook rice with extra water and drain off the excess after cooking. This may remove some of the starch content, resulting in a lesser spike.

Pair with Leafy Greens

Pair your meal with a side salad of leafy greens such as kale or spinach. Greens help slow down digestion and the glucose absorption process.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk before eating. This can help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Hydration

Maintain good hydration by drinking water before and during your meal. This can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar.
