How to consume beef stew with potatoes and gravy without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of potatoes in the beef stew to minimize the glucose impact.
Add Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to the stew. These can help slow down digestion and reduce spikes.
Whole Grains
Consider replacing a portion of the potatoes with whole grains like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.
Protein Addition
Increase the amount of lean beef in the stew and consider adding legumes such as lentils or chickpeas to increase protein content, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of flaxseeds or chia seeds, which can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Spice It Up
Use spices such as cinnamon or turmeric in the gravy, as they may have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels.
Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the stew before serving, as the acidity can help moderate blood sugar responses.
Incorporate Nuts
Serve the stew with a side of nuts like almonds or walnuts, which can provide healthy fats and further slow digestion.
Eat Slowly
Practice mindful eating by consuming the stew slowly, which can help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to support metabolic processes and aid in the digestion of carbohydrates.
