How to consume Rice With Beans without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice and beans to limit the carbohydrate load of your meal.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. These options have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale into your meal. These foods can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu, to the meal. Protein can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts, to further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and take your time eating, which can help regulate the pace at which glucose enters your bloodstream.

Hydrate

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small, balanced snack, like a handful of almonds, before your meal to prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

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

Monitor Consistently

Keep track of your body's response to meals and adjust your strategies as needed for optimal blood sugar management.
