How to consume Mexican food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of high-carbohydrate items like tortillas, rice, and beans to minimize the glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain or corn tortillas over flour tortillas to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado or a small amount of cheese to your meal to help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini to increase fiber intake and help manage blood sugar.

Protein Pairing

Add lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, or tofu to your meal to help balance carbohydrate intake and reduce spikes.

Limit Sugary Beverages

Avoid sugary drinks and cocktails; instead, opt for water, unsweetened iced tea, or sparkling water with lime.

Mind the Sauces

Use salsa or pico de gallo instead of sweet or creamy sauces to reduce sugar and calorie intake.

Eat Slowly

Chew food thoroughly and take time to enjoy your meal, which can aid digestion and prevent overeating.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a walk after meals, to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals to understand how different foods and portion sizes affect you, allowing for personalized adjustments.
