How to consume chili without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the chili to limit the carbohydrate intake.

Include Protein

Pair the chili with a lean protein source like grilled chicken or turkey. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, which can slow carbohydrate absorption.

Eat with Vegetables

Serve the chili with a side of leafy greens such as spinach or kale to add fiber, aiding in slowing down the glucose absorption.

Choose Low-Carb Beans

If the chili contains beans, opt for varieties that are lower in carbohydrates like black beans or lentils.

Limit Added Sugars

If you’re preparing the chili yourself, minimize the use of sugar or sweetened ingredients.

Use Whole Grains

If the chili is served with a side like cornbread, choose whole grain or alternative low-carb options.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and after the meal, as proper hydration can help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Consider adding extra fiber-rich vegetables such as zucchini or bell peppers to the chili to help slow digestion.

Monitor Snacks

Be mindful of additional carbohydrate sources like crackers or bread when eating chili.

Eat Slowly

Take your time with meals to give your body a chance to process the food effectively.

Regular Exercise

Incorporate post-meal walks or light exercise to help lower blood sugar spikes naturally.
