How to consume Rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce your rice portion size and pair it with a larger amount of non-starchy vegetables to balance your meal.

Combine with Protein

Include lean proteins like chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes in your meal. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain Rice

Opt for brown or wild rice over white rice, as these have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods such as lentils, beans, or chickpeas to your meal to help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Incorporate Vinegar

Use vinegar-based dressings or add a splash of vinegar to your meal, which can help reduce post-meal glucose spikes.

Eat Vegetables First

Start your meal with a salad or non-starchy vegetables to help moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and nutrient absorption, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

Cook Rice with Extra Water

Cooking rice with excess water and then rinsing it can remove some of the starch, potentially reducing its impact on blood sugar.

Include Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
