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

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chili con carne, beans, and rice to help manage the glucose spike. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more fiber-rich foods to your meal, such as a side salad with leafy greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

Substitute white rice with brown rice, quinoa, or barley to introduce more complex carbohydrates that are absorbed more slowly by the body.

Balance with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to help stabilize blood sugar levels and make you feel full for longer.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, to slow digestion and prevent a quick spike in blood glucose.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and reduce blood sugar levels.

Timing of Meals

Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than large meals to help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and reduce the spike by allowing your body more time to process the carbohydrates.

Regular Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after meals to help lower blood sugar levels naturally.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different food combinations affect your blood sugar levels to identify patterns and adjust your diet accordingly.
