How to consume Cooked Vegetables (From Fresh, Fat Not Added In Cooking) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats to your meal, such as grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from the vegetables.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods like legumes (lentils, chickpeas) or whole grains (quinoa, barley) in your meal. Fiber can moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of cooked vegetables. Eating larger quantities can increase the glucose response.

Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Drizzling a little vinegar or lemon juice over your vegetables can help blunt the glucose spike due to the acetic acid content.

Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables First

Start your meal with non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, or cucumber to slow down the digestive process and manage glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated aids digestion and can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. Mindful eating can prevent overeating and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Exercise Regularly

Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine. Exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood glucose.

Monitor Cooking Methods

Cook vegetables using methods that preserve their natural fiber, such as steaming or roasting, rather than boiling, which can break down fiber.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat your meals at regular intervals to help maintain consistent blood sugar levels throughout the day.
