How to consume mashed potato, meat without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Aim to reduce the portion size of the mashed potatoes. Smaller portions can help manage the body's glycemic response.

Add Fiber

Include a serving of vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or carrots with your meal. These options are not only healthy but also help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Choose Lean Meats

Opt for lean cuts of meat like chicken breast or turkey instead of fattier options. These provide protein without excessive fat, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts. These can slow digestion and the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.

Mix with Lower Glycemic Foods

Consider mixing mashed potatoes with alternatives like cauliflower mash or sweet potato mash. This combination can reduce the overall impact on blood sugar levels.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

Drizzle a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice over your meal. Acidic ingredients can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and satiety, potentially preventing overeating.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating, as it allows your body to better regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after meals to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider having smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of large meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
