How to consume easy marianara sauce, ground veal, whole wheat spaghetti without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the spaghetti and sauce. Smaller portions can help moderate the impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate low-impact vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers into the sauce. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Increase Fiber

Opt for adding fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds to your meal. They can help regulate blood sugar by slowing digestion.

Balance Macronutrients

Include a healthy fat source, such as olive oil or avocado, in your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Combine with Protein

Ensure that the ground veal is lean, and consider adding more protein such as grilled chicken or turkey to the dish, which can help reduce the spike.

Cook Pasta Al Dente

Cooking the whole wheat spaghetti until it is just tender can lower its impact on blood sugar compared to overcooked pasta.

Monitor Sauce Ingredients

Use a marinara sauce that contains no added sugars and opt for one made with whole, natural ingredients.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and moderating blood sugar levels.

Time Your Meal

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones, which can help manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating to help facilitate glucose uptake by muscles and reduce spikes.
