How to consume sticky rice without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of lean protein (like grilled chicken or tofu) and healthy fats (such as avocados or nuts) with your sticky rice to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. These vegetables help to slow down the digestion process.

Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of sticky rice and increase the portions of protein and vegetables on your plate.

Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Use a bit of vinegar or lemon juice as a dressing or in your meal. Acidic foods can help to moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can help regulate your blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal. Eating slowly allows your body to better process and manage glucose intake.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small, balanced snack (like an apple with almond butter) about 30 minutes before your meal. This can help to prevent a large spike in blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a short walk, after eating. Physical activity can help to lower blood sugar levels.

Include Legumes

Add beans, lentils, or chickpeas to your meal. These are high in fiber and protein, which can help to stabilize blood sugar.

Herbs and Spices

Utilize herbs and spices like cinnamon and turmeric in your cooking. These can have beneficial effects on blood sugar control.
