How to consume Risotto without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Begin by reducing the portion size of the risotto. Smaller servings lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber ingredients into your risotto, such as vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers, to slow down digestion.

Protein Pairing

Include proteins such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu in your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to your risotto. This can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Vinegar Dressing

A small amount of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, before or with meals can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

When preparing risotto, consider using whole grain alternatives such as barley or farro which digest more slowly.

Hydration

Drink water or unsweetened herbal tea with your meal to aid digestion and help manage post-meal blood sugar levels.

Balanced Meal

Ensure that your meal is balanced with a good mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fats to manage blood sugar effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can help you recognize satiety cues and prevent overeating.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your muscles utilize glucose more efficiently.
