How to consume italian seafood risotto without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of your seafood risotto. Smaller amounts of carbs can lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Incorporate Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, with your risotto to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado. These can help slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Upgrade Ingredients

Substitute some of the white rice in your risotto with barley or quinoa to increase fiber content, which can help stabilize your blood sugar.

Eat Vegetables First

Start your meal with a salad or non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to decrease the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Monitor Cooking Time

Cook your rice until it's al dente. Slightly firmer rice takes longer to digest, helping to moderate spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Proper hydration aids in digestion and can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use some of the glucose from your meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel fuller sooner and may lead to consuming fewer carbohydrates overall.
