How to consume basmati rice (dry) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of basmati rice you consume in one sitting to reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil into your meal to further slow digestion and absorption.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to increase fiber intake, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Acidic Additions

Use vinegar or lemon juice in your rice dishes; the acidity can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal to promote a feeling of fullness and potentially reduce the amount of rice you consume.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole grain basmati rice varieties, which typically have more fiber than refined versions.

Cook and Cool

Allow the rice to cool after cooking and consume it cold or reheated. This can increase the resistant starch content, which may have less of an impact on blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or any form of physical activity after eating to help your muscles use up the glucose.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to help your body recognize satiety signals and potentially eat less.
