How to consume Rice With Beans without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of rice in your meal. Even a small reduction can significantly impact your blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice or other whole grains like quinoa or barley, which have a slower digestion rate compared to white rice.

Incorporate Healthy Proteins

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

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocado slices, a sprinkle of nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil. Fats can help moderate glucose spikes.

Include Vegetables

Add a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. These add fiber and nutrients while helping to stabilize blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can improve digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Activities

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating. Physical activity can improve your body's ability to manage glucose.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing on your salad or vegetables, which can help in moderating blood sugar levels post-meal.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying well-hydrated can help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Be conscious of your hunger cues and avoid eating out of habit or stress, which can lead to overeating and subsequent spikes in blood sugar.
