How to consume Moussaka without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the moussaka to minimize the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Accompany with Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your moussaka with a side of leafy green vegetables, such as spinach or kale, to increase fiber intake and slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a salad with avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If your moussaka includes a carb component, opt for whole grain alternatives like barley or quinoa to enhance nutritional content and moderate glucose release.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or fish, to help balance your meal and prevent rapid glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Use Vinegar

Dress your salad with a vinaigrette made from apple cider or balsamic vinegar, which can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce spikes.

Time Your Exercise

Engage in light exercise, such as a walk, after your meal to help your muscles use the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can improve digestion and allow your body to better manage glucose levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how different portions and combinations affect your glucose levels to adjust your future meals accordingly.
