How to consume Thai food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice or noodles, which are often a significant part of Thai meals, to help manage blood sugar levels.

Choose Brown Rice or Quinoa

Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. They are more slowly digested and can help maintain steady glucose levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers into your meal. These are great for slowing down glucose absorption.

Include Protein-Rich Foods

Add lean protein sources like chicken, tofu, or shrimp. Protein helps to slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Use Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocados or a handful of nuts in your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Reduce the amount of sweet sauces like sweet chili or Thai peanut sauce, which can contribute to a glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Consider Acidic Foods

Add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice to your dish. Acidic foods can help lower the blood sugar impact of a meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process the carbohydrates more gradually.

Plan for Balanced Meals

Create a balanced plate by ensuring you have a good mix of protein, non-starchy vegetables, and whole grains.

Monitor Ingredients

Be mindful of ingredients and opt for dishes with less sugar and starch content. Choose curries with coconut milk sparingly, as they can be high in fats and sugars.

Eat at Regular Intervals

Try to have your Thai meal at a time when you have not gone too long without eating, as this can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
