How to consume Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce And Vegetables without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the spaghetti to limit the overall carbohydrate intake, thereby minimizing the spike.

Whole Grain Swap

Opt for whole-grain or whole-wheat spaghetti instead of regular pasta. These options are absorbed more slowly by the body.

Add Protein

Incorporate a protein source like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu into your meal to slow down carbohydrate absorption and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your dish to help slow digestion.

Increase Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or broccoli to increase fiber content and reduce the impact of carbohydrates.

Cook Pasta Al Dente

Cooking spaghetti until it is just al dente (firm to the bite) helps reduce the likelihood of a rapid spike in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control hunger.

Use Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar to your tomato sauce or as a dressing for your salad, as it can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity such as walking for 10-15 minutes after eating to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals and avoid eating large meals late at night to allow your body adequate time to process the meal.
