How to consume Mexican without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain tortillas or brown rice instead of white flour tortillas or white rice, as they release sugars more slowly.

Add Healthy Fats

Include avocado or a small portion of nuts like almonds in your meal to help slow down digestion and sugar absorption.

Incorporate Beans

Use black beans or pinto beans in your dishes as they have a lower impact on blood sugar and are high in fiber.

Opt for Lean Proteins

Select grilled chicken or fish instead of fried meats, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add plenty of vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, and lettuce to your meals to increase fiber content and reduce spikes.

Limit Sugary Additions

Be cautious with sauces like BBQ or sweetened salsas; opt for fresh tomato salsa or pico de gallo instead.

Watch Portion Sizes

Keep portions moderate to prevent excessive carbohydrate intake, which can lead to spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal instead of sugary drinks.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time while eating to aid digestion and help your body manage sugar more effectively.

Plan Your Meals

Balance your meal with a combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats to maintain steady blood sugar levels.
