How to consume Beef Steak, Potato French Fries without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of both the beef steak and potato french fries. Smaller portions can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Balance the Meal

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help reduce the impact of the meal on blood sugar levels.

Choose Healthier Cooking Methods

Instead of deep-frying potatoes, try baking or air-frying them. This reduces the fat content and can slow the release of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. These can help slow digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a side of legumes such as lentils or chickpeas to your meal. High in fiber, they help in slower digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Tea

Avoid sugary drinks with your meal. Opt for water or unsweetened tea, which will not contribute additional sugars.

Timing of Meals

Try to eat at regular intervals and avoid eating a large meal late at night. Spacing out your meals can help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Include a Protein Snack

If you’re having a steak and fries for lunch or dinner, consider having a small protein-rich snack like Greek yogurt or boiled eggs before or a few hours after the meal to help balance the overall effect on blood sugar.

Monitor and Adjust

Use a continuous glucose monitor if possible to track how your body responds to the meal, and adjust your future meals accordingly.

Stay Physically Active

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after meals to help your body use up some of the glucose from your meal more efficiently.
