How to consume italian seafood risotto without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of the risotto. Smaller portions can help moderate the rise in blood glucose levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Pair the risotto with a side of leafy green vegetables or a salad. Foods like spinach, kale, or arugula are high in fiber and can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats into your meal. Drizzle olive oil over the risotto or add a few slices of avocado to your plate. Healthy fats can slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.
Incorporate Protein
Include a protein-rich appetizer or side dish, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes, to help stabilize blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and absorption, reducing the risk of spikes.
Use Whole Grains
If preparing the risotto yourself, consider using a whole-grain or brown rice version. These options are absorbed more slowly compared to white rice.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and for you to notice feelings of fullness.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in a light post-meal walk or activity to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively, reducing the overall spike.
Limit Added Sugars
Minimize the use of high-sugar ingredients or sauces in your risotto and focus on herbs and spices for flavor.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of how different foods affect your glucose levels and adjust your choices over time to identify the best approach that works for you.
