How to consume Paella without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of paella to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels. Smaller portions help manage the spike more effectively.

Include Lean Proteins

Add grilled chicken or fish to your meal, as proteins can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or broccoli to your paella. The fiber content in these vegetables can help slow down the digestion process.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil or avocado slices in your meal. Fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and glucose absorption.

Introduce a Side Salad

Start your meal with a salad containing greens like lettuce or kale, which can help slow digestion and reduce the spike.

Opt for Whole Grains

If preparing paella at home, consider using whole grain rice or quinoa to increase fiber content and reduce the glucose response.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help your body use up the excess glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process and absorb glucose more gradually.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how your body responds to different foods and make necessary adjustments to your diet.
