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.
