How to consume Moussaka without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consider reducing your portion size of Moussaka. Smaller portions can help manage glucose levels more effectively.

Fiber Addition

Pair Moussaka with a side of leafy greens or a salad with high-fiber vegetables such as spinach or broccoli. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Pairing

Include a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes. Consuming protein alongside carbohydrates can help modulate glucose spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small handful of nuts. Healthy fats can slow digestion and reduce the speed of glucose entering the bloodstream.

Alternative Ingredients

When making Moussaka, consider using eggplant and zucchini for the layers instead of higher-carb options like potatoes.

Vinegar Intake

Add a splash of vinegar to your salad or drink a glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before your meal. This can help lower glucose levels after eating.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water during your meal. Staying well-hydrated may aid in better glucose management.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help your body use glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to signal fullness and manage glucose levels better.

Carbohydrate Awareness

Be mindful of the amount and type of carbohydrates consumed throughout the day, and balance your intake with other meals to maintain stable glucose levels.
