How to consume Pasta without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the serving size of pasta. Consuming smaller amounts can help moderate spikes.

Choose Whole Grain or Lentil Pasta

Opt for whole grain or lentil-based pasta instead of refined white pasta. These options are digested more slowly.

Add Protein

Incorporate lean proteins such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu into your pasta dish. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats like avocado, olives, or a drizzle of olive oil to your pasta. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mix with Vegetables

Enhance your pasta dish with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. The fiber content in these vegetables is beneficial.

Pair with Legumes

Consider adding legumes like chickpeas or lentils to your pasta meal. They can improve the overall nutritional profile and reduce spikes.

Watch the Sauce

Be mindful of the sauce you use. Opt for tomato-based sauces without added sugars instead of creamy sauces.

Eat Slowly

Take your time when eating. Chewing thoroughly and eating slowly can help with digestion and glucose management.

Stay Hydrated

Make sure to drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.
