How to consume italian pasta with salmon without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of pasta to manage carbohydrate intake, as consuming less can help decrease the impact on blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Pasta

Choose whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta. These options have more fiber, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your pasta dish. These add fiber and nutrients, and can help moderate the glucose rise.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like olive oil or avocado to your meal. Fats slow digestion and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Ensure you have a good portion of salmon or add another source of lean protein, such as chicken or tofu. Protein can mitigate the rise in blood sugar following a meal.

Acidic Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing or a squeeze of lemon juice over the pasta. The acid can lower the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Cook Al Dente

Cook pasta to an al dente texture. Overcooked pasta has a higher tendency to spike blood sugar levels.

Timing and Balance

Pair your pasta with a side salad or a low-carb soup to balance the meal and reduce the rate at which carbohydrates enter your bloodstream.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to help with digestion and better manage blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food, which can help in reducing the glucose spike.
