How to consume Cottage Pie without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the cottage pie to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, or kale, on the side to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Include a source of lean protein, like grilled chicken breast or tofu, to help balance blood sugar levels by slowing the release of glucose.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as avocado or a handful of nuts, which can help moderate the absorption rate of carbohydrates.

Vinegar Trick

Consume a small amount of vinegar, like adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to a salad, before eating the cottage pie to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and support overall metabolic functions.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body a chance to regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Meal Timing

Avoid eating the cottage pie on an empty stomach; have it as part of a balanced meal to reduce the impact of a glucose spike.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how cottage pie affects you personally and adjust your approach accordingly.
