How to consume basmati rice (dry), mixed vegetables (corn, lima beans, peas, green beans, carrots) (no salt added, canned) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of basmati rice to minimize the impact on your blood glucose levels. Consider starting with half a cup of cooked rice and adjust based on your body's response.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils, to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which helps in maintaining more stable glucose levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can help slow digestion and reduce the rate at which carbohydrates raise blood glucose levels.

Choose Different Vegetables

Substitute some of the higher carbohydrate vegetables in your mixed vegetables with lower carbohydrate options like spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.

Use Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal. This can help improve insulin sensitivity and mitigate spikes in blood sugar.

Cook Rice with Extra Water

Prepare your basmati rice with extra water and drain it before serving. This can help reduce the carbohydrate content of the rice.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a mixed salad with leafy greens. Fiber can slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Combine with Low-Carb Foods

Serve your meal with low-carbohydrate foods such as mushrooms or bell peppers to balance the overall carbohydrate intake.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light exercise before eating. Physical activity can help improve your body's ability to manage glucose levels.

Monitor Timing and Frequency

Avoid eating large amounts of high-carbohydrate foods late at night and try to have smaller, more frequent meals to help maintain stable glucose levels throughout the day.
