How to consume Meatless Pasta With Cheese And Tomato Sauce without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the pasta to decrease the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in managing glucose levels.

Opt for Whole Grain Pasta

Choose whole grain or legume-based pasta alternatives, as these have a slower digestion rate compared to regular pasta.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers into your dish. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as olive oil or avocado, to your meal to help slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Tomato Sauce

Use a tomato sauce with no added sugars or make your own using fresh tomatoes and herbs to control sugar content.

Balance with Protein

Incorporate a plant-based protein source, such as lentils or chickpeas, to help balance your meal and provide sustained energy.

Monitor Cheese Quantity

Use cheese sparingly and opt for varieties that are lower in fat to avoid excessive calorie intake.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help regulate your appetite and prevent overeating.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and savor your meal, which can help in better digestion and control of glucose spikes.

Walk Post-Meal

Engage in a short walk after eating to help lower blood sugar levels and aid digestion.
