How to consume vegetarian pot pie without glucose spikes

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the size of your pot pie serving to limit the carbohydrate load in one sitting.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale to slow down glucose absorption.

Add Protein

Include a protein source such as tofu, legumes, or a handful of nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil dressing, or a small portion of seeds to your meal.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated with water instead of sugary or high-carb beverages.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly, which can help in the slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

If making the pot pie at home, use whole grain flour for the crust instead of refined flour.

Include Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal, which can help reduce the blood sugar spike post-meal.

Monitor Timing

Eat your pot pie earlier in the day rather than at night, as your body's insulin sensitivity tends to be better earlier.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like walking for 10-15 minutes after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating techniques to focus on your hunger cues and avoid overeating.

Combine with Low-Carb Foods

Serve your pot pie with a side of low-carb, non-starchy veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, or zucchini.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Avoid adding sugary sauces or dressings to your pot pie.

Cook Beans Thoroughly

If your pot pie contains beans, make sure they are fully cooked to reduce their impact on blood sugar.

Enjoy Fruits Wisely

If you want to add fruit to your meal, choose options like berries that have lower carbohydrate content compared to fruits like bananas or mangoes.
