English Bresaola (100 G)

Check the label and choose bresaola with no added sugar, honey, dextrose, maltodextrin, or sweet glazes; keep the serving modest.

Eat bresaola with a fiber-rich side such as a leafy-green salad, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, or non-starchy vegetables rather than bread, crackers, or sweet sauces.

If you want a starch alongside it, choose a small portion of lentils, chickpeas, or beans instead of white bread, fries, or pastries.

Add fats and protein that slow digestion, such as olive oil, avocado, olives, or a small serving of unsweetened plain Greek yogurt.

Avoid pairing it with sugary drinks, juice, beer, or large portions of alcohol; choose water or unsweetened sparkling water instead.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help blunt the post-meal rise.
