Lamb Roast (1 Thin Slice (Approx 3 Inches Dia X 1/8 Inches))

Choose a leaner, smaller portion of lamb and trim visible fat; keep the meal’s calorie load moderate.

Replace roast potatoes, parsnips, stuffing, bread, and sweet sauces with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans, spinach, or a leafy salad.

Use unsweetened seasonings and sauces such as rosemary, garlic, lemon, mustard, mint, or a yogurt-herb sauce; avoid gravies or glazes made with sugar, flour, honey, or fruit syrup.

Add a modest serving of high-fibre legumes such as lentils or chickpeas if you want a starch component, rather than refined starches.

Eat slowly and start with vegetables or salad before the lamb and any carbohydrate-containing side dishes.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after the meal, if appropriate for your health and mobility, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion sizes and sides that work best for you.
