How to consume Lentils without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats
Add a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish, and include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil to your lentil meals. This combination can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.
Portion Control
Be mindful of your serving size when consuming lentils. Smaller portions can help manage the overall impact on your blood sugar.
Incorporate Vegetables
Add a variety of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, bell peppers, or broccoli to your lentil dishes. The fiber and nutrients in vegetables can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Lentils over Processed
Opt for whole lentils instead of lentil-based products like pasta or flour. Whole lentils have more fiber and nutrients, which can aid in controlling blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Regular Physical Activity
Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or light exercise, after meals. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Eat Slowly
Take your time when eating to give your body the chance to process the food more gradually, which can prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to see how different meals affect you. This can help you make more informed decisions about your diet.
Experiment with Cooking Methods
Cook lentils in ways that may reduce their impact on blood sugar, like soaking them before cooking, which can help reduce their potency.
Consider Fermented Foods
Include fermented foods such as yogurt or sauerkraut alongside your lentil meals. The probiotics in these foods can assist in better digestion and blood sugar control.
