Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the rice in your meal to decrease the overall carbohydrate intake.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Vegetable Addition

Increase the fiber content by adding non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your meal.

Whole Grain Rice

Use brown rice or another whole grain alternative instead of white rice to improve the nutritional profile and reduce the spike.

Cooking Method

Cook the rice and lentils with minimal oil and avoid overcooking them to maintain their nutritional integrity.

Eat Slowly

Practice mindful eating by chewing thoroughly and eating slowly, which can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Properly

Drink water before your meal to help improve digestion and provide a sense of fullness, reducing the desire for larger portions.

Spice It Up

Use spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce spikes.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your glucose levels after meals to understand your body's response and adjust your meal components accordingly.
