How to consume Pasta bolognese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the amount of pasta you consume in a single serving. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grain Pasta

Substitute regular pasta with whole grain or whole wheat pasta. These options are processed more slowly by the body.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate low-carb vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers into your pasta dish. They add fiber and nutrients that help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or plant-based alternatives like tofu or lentils to your meal. Protein helps slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Use Healthy Fats

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil or add avocado slices to your dish. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Cook Pasta Al Dente

Opt for cooking your pasta al dente (firm to the bite). This slightly undercooked texture can result in a slower release of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Tomato-Based Sauces

Use sauces that are tomato-based rather than cream-based. Ensure the sauce has minimal added sugars.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This gives your body more time to process the carbohydrates gradually.

Regular Physical Activity

Incorporate a short walk or light exercise after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels.
