How to consume cooked vegetables, quinoa (cooked) without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein

Pair your meal with a good source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive oil in your meal. These fats can help to moderate your glucose levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Increase the fiber content by adding non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of the cooked vegetables and quinoa. Smaller quantities can lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat at a slower pace. This can help your body manage the glucose more effectively.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small snack that is high in protein or healthy fats about 30 minutes before your main meal. A handful of almonds or a small piece of cheese can be effective.

Vinegar Addition

Adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal can help in reducing blood sugar spikes.

Complex Carbs

Choose whole grains and vegetables that are less processed and contain more complex carbohydrates. These take longer to digest.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help your body manage glucose levels better.

Physical Activity

Engage in mild physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can aid in lowering your blood sugar levels.
