How to consume sausage, potatoes and vegetables in gravy (mixture) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of sausage, potatoes, and gravy to minimize the overall intake of carbohydrates and fats that contribute to glucose spikes.

Balanced Plate

Ensure that your meal includes a higher proportion of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers to lower the overall impact on blood sugar.

Protein Addition

Incorporate a lean protein source like grilled chicken breast or tofu to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a handful of nuts to your meal to further slow carbohydrate digestion.

Pre-Meal Fiber

Start your meal with a fiber-rich salad including ingredients like spinach, kale, or cucumbers, which can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Complex Carbohydrates

Replace the potatoes with a lower impact starch like quinoa or barley which have a gentler effect on blood sugar.

Vegetable Emphasis

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables in your gravy mix and decrease the amount of potatoes to balance the carbohydrates better.

Gravy Modification

Use a lower carbohydrate thickening agent for your gravy, such as arrowroot or xanthan gum, instead of flour or cornstarch.

Meal Timing

Eat smaller portions of the meal more frequently throughout the day rather than one large meal to avoid significant spikes.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise like walking for 10-15 minutes after your meal to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Herbs and Spices

Incorporate blood sugar-friendly herbs and spices like cinnamon and turmeric into your meal for their potential glucose-regulating properties.

Mindful Eating

Chew your food slowly and thoroughly, which can aid in better digestion and more gradual glucose absorption.
