How to consume Rice With Beans And Chicken without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of rice to limit carbohydrate intake. Consider using a smaller plate to help with portion control.

Focus on Fiber

Add more high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal to slow down digestion and reduce spikes.

Opt for Brown Rice or Quinoa

Swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa, which have more fiber and nutrients.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to the meal to slow down glucose absorption.

Protein Balance

Ensure that the portion of chicken is adequate to provide enough protein to balance the carbohydrates from rice.

Vinegar Addition

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon to your dish. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink water before your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Timing and Spacing

Consider eating smaller, balanced meals more frequently throughout the day instead of large meals at once.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like walking for about 10-15 minutes after eating to help with glucose management.
