How to consume Rice Pilaf without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice pilaf to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish with your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil to your meal to further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your plate to increase fiber intake and reduce the impact of rice pilaf on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce hunger.

Opt for Whole Grains

Whenever possible, choose rice pilaf made with whole grain rice to benefit from higher fiber content.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can help with portion control and prevent overeating.

Physical Activity

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

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Check your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different portion sizes and food combinations affect you, allowing for better meal planning in the future.
