How to consume Paella without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the paella you consume to help manage your glucose levels more effectively.

Protein Inclusion

Add a source of protein such as chickpeas, beans, or grilled chicken to your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Fiber Addition

Integrate high-fiber foods like a side salad with mixed greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to your meal, as fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a small serving of nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts) to help slow digestion and reduce blood glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a short walk, to help your body use up excess blood sugar.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to aid in digestion and help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Meal Timing

Try eating paella earlier in the day when your body is more efficient at processing carbohydrates rather than late at night.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, as this can help you feel full sooner and may prevent overeating.

Balanced Meal Planning

Ensure that other meals during the day include low-carbohydrate, high-fiber options like lentils, barley, or quinoa to maintain overall blood sugar stability.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood glucose levels before and after eating paella to better understand how it affects you and adjust your approach accordingly.
