How to consume chili con carne with beans and rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chili con carne, beans, and rice to decrease the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help mitigate the spike in glucose levels.

Increase Protein and Fiber

Add extra lean protein sources such as chicken breast or turkey and increase fiber by incorporating more vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini into the dish.

Choose Whole Grains

Substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa. These options are absorbed more slowly, reducing the rapid increase in blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of cheese, which can slow digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, before eating to improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood glucose levels more effectively.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water before your meal to help fill you up and possibly lead to consuming less during the meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to allow your body time to register fullness, which can prevent overeating.

Add a Salad

Start your meal with a salad made of leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to increase fiber intake and slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Monitor Timing

Try to eat your meal at a consistent time each day to help regulate blood sugar levels and improve your body's ability to process food.

Consider Vinegar

Add a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal which may help in reducing blood sugar spikes.
