How to consume eggplant with cheese and tomato sauce without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of your eggplant, cheese, and tomato sauce dish. Smaller portions can lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your meal. These can help slow down digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Increase Protein

Pair your meal with a protein-rich food, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, like a small serving of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Use Whole Ingredients

Opt for whole, fresh tomatoes instead of processed sauce to reduce sugar content.

Cheese Selection

Choose cheese with less saturated fat. Consider using part-skim mozzarella or a small amount of Parmesan.

Balanced Side Dish

Serve your main dish with a side of leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water with lemon before your meal. This can help manage hunger and prevent overeating.

Cook Methods

Consider grilling or baking the eggplant instead of frying, as this can reduce added oils and calories.

Timing

Eat your meal slowly and mindfully, allowing your body time to process and react to the food.
