How to consume taco or tostada with beans, cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato and salsa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the overall portion size of your meal. Smaller amounts of carbohydrates can help limit glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grain or Corn Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or corn tortillas for your tacos or tostadas. These options have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more high-fiber ingredients like extra lettuce, tomatoes, or other non-starchy vegetables to your meal. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar.

Lean Meats

Use lean cuts of meat or plant-based proteins like grilled chicken or turkey to reduce fat content, which can positively impact blood glucose levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado or a small amount of nuts or seeds. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.

Limit Cheese Quantity

Use a moderate amount of cheese and consider varieties that are lower in fat to reduce the meal's overall calorie and fat content.

Salsa Choices

Opt for salsa that is low in added sugars. Fresh, homemade salsa without added sugar is a great option.

Eat Slowly

Slow down your eating pace. Eating more slowly can help you feel full sooner, which may help you consume less.

Hydrate Properly

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing of Carbohydrate Intake

Consider having more carbohydrates earlier in the day or during times when you’re more active, as increased activity helps manage glucose levels.
