Ground Lamb (100 G)

Pair ground lamb with high-fiber, non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, zucchini, or salad greens instead of refined starches.

Replace bread, buns, rice, potatoes, and sugary sauces in the lamb meal with lentils or chickpeas in a modest portion, or add extra vegetables.

Choose a leaner ground-lamb blend and keep the serving moderate; large, high-fat portions can delay and prolong a rise in glucose for some people.

Season lamb with herbs, spices, lemon, vinegar, garlic, and unsweetened yogurt rather than sweet marinades, chutneys, or barbecue-style sauces.

Eat the vegetables or a small salad before the lamb and carbohydrate portion to slow absorption.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal and track your response, since the spike may be driven by meal sides, sauces, portion size, or timing rather than lamb alone.
