How to consume taco or tostada with beans, cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato and salsa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Keep an eye on the portion sizes of the tortillas or tostadas you consume, as these are major contributors to glucose spikes.

Whole Grain Options

Choose whole grain or corn tortillas instead of refined flour ones. Whole grains have a more gradual impact on glucose levels.

Bean Selection

Opt for black beans or kidney beans, as they typically have a milder impact on glucose.

Increase Fiber

Add more fiber to your meal by incorporating extra lettuce, tomatoes, and other vegetables, which can help slow glucose absorption.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Lean Protein

Use lean meats like chicken breast or turkey, which can help maintain a steady glucose level.

Cheese Choice

Choose lower-fat cheese options and use them sparingly to reduce overall calorie and fat intake.

Mindful Salsa

Opt for fresh salsa without added sugars, as some commercial salsas can contain hidden sugars.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating to allow your body to better process the carbohydrates and avoid rapid glucose spikes.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small, healthy snack such as a few almonds or a small apple with peanut butter before your meal to help manage glucose levels.
