Spanish Mongolian Beef (100 G)

Reduce the rice portion or replace it with cauliflower rice; avoid extra noodles, fried rice, or sugary sauces alongside the beef.

Ask for the sauce on the side and use less of it, since Mongolian-style sauces are often sweetened; avoid adding hoisin, sweet chili, or extra teriyaki sauce.

Start the meal with a non-starchy vegetable side such as broccoli, bok choy, bell peppers, mushrooms, or a leafy salad with unsweetened dressing.

Choose a smaller serving of beef and pair it with extra vegetables to reduce the overall carbohydrate load while keeping the meal filling.

Drink water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead of soda, juice, sweetened tea, or alcoholic mixed drinks.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, to help your muscles use circulating glucose.
