How to consume Cooked Vegetables without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Keep your portion sizes moderate. Eating large amounts at once can lead to higher glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, or a handful of nuts to your meal, as they can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Protein

Pair your cooked vegetables with a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes, to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Lower-Carb Vegetables

Opt for non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, and zucchini, which have a lesser impact on blood sugar.

Cook Smart

Avoid overcooking vegetables. Lightly steaming or blanching helps maintain more nutrients and can lower the risk of a spike compared to overcooked or mashed options.

Combine with Whole Grains

If you want to include grains, pick options like quinoa or barley in small portions, as they are more slowly digested.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or lentils, which can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal; this can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Regular Meal Timing

Eat at consistent intervals to keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after meals to help with glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity.
