How to consume carbonara without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of carbonara to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers into your carbonara. These add fiber, helping to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Lean Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey to your meal. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

Use whole grain pasta instead of regular pasta. Whole grains contain more fiber, which aids in reducing blood sugar spikes.

Use a Healthier Sauce Base

Consider making the sauce with avocado or using lower-fat dairy options to reduce the fat content, which can help in stabilizing glucose levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fat, such as olive oil or nuts, which can slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal to improve digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to savor your meal. Eating slowly helps your body better regulate its insulin response.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. Exercise helps your body use up some of the glucose from the meal.

Spread Out Carbohydrate Intake

If possible, try to spread your carbohydrate intake throughout the day rather than consuming large amounts in one meal.
