How to consume homemade style spaghetti sauce with beef or meat without glucose spikes
Increase Fiber Intake
Incorporate whole-grain or legume-based pasta instead of regular pasta. This can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Vegetables
Include non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach in the sauce to increase fiber and nutrient content.
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the pasta and sauce to limit carbohydrate intake.
Use Lean Meat
Opt for leaner cuts of beef or consider substituting with ground turkey or chicken to reduce fat content.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as olive oil, nuts, or seeds, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Pair with Protein
Serve the spaghetti with a side of grilled chicken or a plant-based protein source to balance the meal and slow down glucose absorption.
Limit Added Sugars
Avoid adding sugar to the sauce and check for any hidden sugars in canned tomatoes or paste.
Enhance with Herbs and Spices
Use herbs like basil, oregano, and rosemary to add flavor without the need for sugar or salt.
Hydrate with Water
Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar.
Monitor Cooking Times
Cook pasta al dente to maintain a firmer texture, which can help reduce the speed of carbohydrate absorption.
