How to consume chili with beans (canned) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chili to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of olive oil into your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Pair your chili with a protein source such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Canned Beans

Opt for canned beans with no added sugars. Rinse them thoroughly to remove some of the added sodium and sugars.

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Serve your chili over a bed of spinach or kale. These leafy greens have a minimal effect on blood sugar.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Increase the volume of your chili with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms to add fiber and nutrients.

Use Whole Grains

If serving with a side, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley in moderation, which can help control glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Monitor Your Carbohydrate Intake

Keep track of your total carbohydrate intake during the meal to avoid excessive consumption.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity after eating, like a short walk, to help improve your body’s insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating chili to understand how your body reacts and adjust your strategy accordingly.
