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.
