How to consume Beef Steak, Mashed Potato without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of mashed potatoes, as they can contribute significantly to glucose spikes.

Add Fiber

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or green beans to increase fiber intake, which can help moderate glucose levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, such as a small serving of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. Healthy fats can slow down digestion and stabilize glucose levels.

Protein Mix

Complement the beef steak with a lean protein, like grilled chicken or turkey, to balance the protein intake and potentially lower the glucose response.

Timing of Carbs

Consume the mashed potatoes last. Eating proteins and fats first can help slow the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal. Adequate hydration can aid in digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Choose Alternatives

Replace mashed potatoes with alternatives like boiled sweet potatoes or barley, which may have a milder effect on glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your meal. This practice can prevent overeating and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Monitor Impact

Keep track of your glucose levels post-meal to understand how different food combinations affect you and adjust accordingly.
