How to consume portuguese mushroom risotto without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the mushroom risotto. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose response.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods into your meal. Consider adding a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes, or mix in vegetables like spinach or zucchini to the risotto to increase fiber content.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken or tofu. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil, which can help moderate glucose spikes by slowing digestion.

Consume Vinegar

Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the risotto or have a vinegar-based salad dressing. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the meal, as hydration can help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help utilize the glucose in your bloodstream.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process and respond to the carbohydrates.

Complex Carbohydrates

Choose whole grain rice for your risotto, which digests more slowly compared to refined grains.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small, balanced snack such as a handful of nuts or a small apple before your main meal to help manage your blood sugar response.
