How to consume Cottage Pie without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the Cottage Pie to manage carbohydrate intake, which can help in moderating the glucose response.

Add Fiber

Incorporate more fiber by serving the pie with a side of leafy greens or a salad. Vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli can slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Protein Boost

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or fish alongside your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts to your meal. Fats can also help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing on your salad. Vinegar has been shown to reduce blood sugar spikes after meals.

Whole Grains

If you make the Cottage Pie yourself, consider using a whole grain or legume-based topping instead of traditional mashed potatoes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and possibly help in controlling blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This practice can help in better digestion and may contribute to a reduced glucose response.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body's response to different portion sizes and meal combinations, and adjust your diet accordingly to find what works best for you.
