How to consume Pasta without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of pasta. Aim for a moderate portion to minimize glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grain or Alternative Pastas

Opt for whole grain, chickpea, or lentil-based pastas. These alternatives are digested more slowly.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as chicken, turkey, tofu, or legumes in your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds. These can slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Load Up on Vegetables

Include a variety of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, or broccoli in your pasta dish. They add fiber and nutrients.

Use a Vinegar Dressing

Toss your pasta in a dressing made with vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which may help reduce glucose spikes.

Cook Pasta Al Dente

Cook your pasta until it's just firm. Overcooked pasta can raise blood sugar levels more quickly.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and prevent overeating.

Eat Mindfully

Focus on eating slowly and chewing thoroughly to help control portion size and improve digestion.

Monitor Timing

Consider timing your pasta consumption with physical activity, such as a walk after eating, to help manage blood sugar levels.
