How to consume Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce And Vegetables without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of spaghetti to limit the overall intake of carbohydrates.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu to your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado slices, olive oil, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to the dish to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole-Grain Pasta

Opt for whole-grain or whole wheat spaghetti which digests slower due to higher fiber content compared to regular pasta.

Load Up on Vegetables

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to add volume and nutrients to your meal without adding excessive carbohydrates.

Add a Side Salad

Start your meal with a side salad containing leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes with a vinaigrette dressing to add fiber and delay digestion.

Cook Pasta Al Dente

Cook your pasta al dente (firm to the bite) as it has a slower digestion rate compared to overcooked pasta.

Include Vinegar or Lemon

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon to your sauce or salad, which can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to digest and metabolize the carbohydrates more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal, which can help slow digestion and absorption of sugars.
