How to consume Quinoa without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by moderating the portion size of quinoa you eat, as smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Combine with Protein
Pair quinoa with a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil to your quinoa dishes. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your quinoa meal. They are high in fiber and can help regulate blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Cook Quinoa Properly
Make sure quinoa is cooked thoroughly to ensure it is easier to digest, which can help mitigate spikes in blood sugar.
Add Vinegar or Lemon
Incorporate a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your quinoa dish. These acidic ingredients can help slow carbohydrate digestion.
Exercise Regularly
Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking after meals, to help your muscles use more glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.
Monitor Your Body’s Response
Keep track of how your body responds to quinoa and adjust your meal combinations or portion sizes accordingly.
Consistent Meal Timing
Eat meals at regular intervals to help maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day.
