How to consume Chinese food without glucose spikes

Opt for Brown Rice

Substitute white rice with brown rice to slow down carbohydrate absorption and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Choose Whole Grains

Select dishes made with whole grains, such as barley or whole wheat noodles, rather than refined grains.

Incorporate High-Fiber Vegetables

Increase the portion of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, and bell peppers to add fiber and reduce glucose spikes.

Minimize Sweet Sauces

Ask for dishes with less sauce or request sauce on the side to control sugar intake. Opt for soy sauce or vinegar-based sauces instead of sweetened ones.

Lean Proteins

Choose dishes with lean proteins such as chicken, tofu, or shrimp, which can help slow digestion and minimize spikes.

Begin with a Salad

Start your meal with a salad to introduce fiber early on, which can help regulate glucose levels.

Nuts as a Side

Consider adding a small portion of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal, as they can help moderate glucose response.

Avoid Deep-Fried Options

Choose steamed, stir-fried, or grilled dishes to reduce the intake of unhealthy fats and refined carbohydrates.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of portion sizes, particularly of rice and noodle dishes, to help control carbohydrate intake.

Stay Hydrated with Water or Tea

Drink water or unsweetened tea with your meal to avoid sugary beverages that can exacerbate glucose spikes.
