How to consume Cooked Lentils without glucose spikes

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate foods like avocados, nuts, or olive oil into your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as chicken, tofu, or eggs to your lentil dish to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Control Portion Size

Be mindful of the quantity of lentils you consume. Smaller portions can prevent excessive glucose spikes.

Pair with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or carrots to your meals. These can help reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Opt for Vinegar or Lemon

Consider adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your dish. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar fluctuations.

Choose Whole Grains

If combining with grains, opt for options such as quinoa or barley instead of refined grains.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after your meal to help with digestion and the slow release of carbohydrates.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Chewing your food thoroughly and eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your blood sugar responds to various combinations of foods so you can make informed adjustments in the future.
