How to consume Potatoes without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of potatoes to minimize the impact on blood glucose levels.

Pair with Protein

Add lean protein like chicken, fish, or tofu to your meal to slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or olive oil, which can help moderate glucose spikes.

Choose Sweet Potatoes

Opt for sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, as they have a gentler effect on blood sugar.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or cauliflower to your meal to slow glucose absorption.

Cook and Cool Potatoes

Allow potatoes to cool after cooking and consume them cold or reheated, as this process increases resistant starch, which is beneficial for blood sugar control.

Eat Potatoes with Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your potato dishes to help lower blood sugar response.

Try Potato Substitutes

Use alternatives like quinoa, lentils, or barley in place of potatoes to reduce glucose spikes.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body more time to process carbohydrates.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming potatoes to understand your body's response and adjust your diet accordingly.
