How to consume Mashed Potato without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of mashed potatoes you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like steamed vegetables or a salad with leafy greens alongside your mashed potatoes. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Pair your meal with a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize your blood sugar by slowing down digestion.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado to your meal. These fats can help slow down the digestion process.

Swap Ingredients

Consider making mashed potatoes with a mix of lower-carb vegetables such as cauliflower or turnips to reduce the carbohydrate content.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Increase Activity

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

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to register fullness and prevent overeating.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to learn how different foods affect you and adjust your diet accordingly.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat at consistent times each day to help regulate your blood sugar levels and avoid any sudden spikes.
