How to consume Rice With Beans without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice and beans to limit the number of carbohydrates consumed in one meal.

Choose Brown Rice

Opt for brown rice instead of white rice, as it has a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale into your meal to add fiber and slow down digestion.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Lean Protein

Add a portion of lean protein such as chicken, fish, or tofu. Protein can help moderate the body's response to carbohydrates.

Cook Beans from Scratch

If possible, cook dried beans yourself rather than using canned beans, as they often have a lower sodium content and can have a better nutrient profile.

Try Alternative Grains

Consider substituting rice with lower-impact grains like quinoa or barley, which can have a more moderate effect on blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat, chew thoroughly, and savor your food, which can help regulate your body's response to the meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can support optimal metabolic function.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid eating large meals late at night. Allow at least a few hours between your carbohydrate-rich meal and bedtime.
