How to consume Macaroni without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of macaroni to minimize the overall intake of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers into your macaroni dish to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Choose Whole-Grain Macaroni

Opt for whole-grain or whole-wheat macaroni instead of refined pasta, as they are digested more slowly.

Include a Protein Source

Add lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans to your macaroni to balance the meal and reduce glucose spikes.

Healthy Fats Addition

Top your macaroni with a moderate amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts to further slow digestion.

Eat Slowly and Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to eat and thoroughly chew your food, which can improve satiety and aid digestion.

Hydrate with Water

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and portion control.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid consuming macaroni as a late-night snack; instead, have it as part of a balanced meal earlier in the day.

Incorporate a Salad

Start your meal with a salad containing leafy greens and a light vinaigrette to help control blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.
