How to consume burrito with beef, cheese and chili peppers without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the size of the burrito. Smaller portions can significantly decrease the impact on your glucose levels.

Increase Fiber Content

Add more fiber-rich ingredients like black beans or lentils to your burrito. These can slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Choose Whole Grain Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat tortillas instead of refined flour ones, as they have a lower impact on glucose levels.

Include Vegetables

Enhance your burrito with non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, bell peppers, and tomatoes. These not only add nutrients but also help moderate glucose spikes.

Balance with Protein and Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats and proteins like avocados or grilled chicken to help slow the release of sugars.

Drink Water Before Eating

Drinking a glass of water before your meal can help you feel fuller and may reduce the amount you eat.

Slow Down Your Eating

Eating slowly gives your body more time to process the food and helps prevent sudden glucose spikes.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to your meal may help improve insulin sensitivity and control blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

A short walk after eating can help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Your Intake of Cheese and Chili Peppers

While cheese adds protein, consuming it in moderation can help control calorie and fat intake. Ensure that the chili peppers don't contain added sugars or high-calorie ingredients.
