How to consume taco or tostada with beans, cheese, meat, lettuce, tomato and salsa without glucose spikes
Incorporate Whole Grain or Corn Tortillas
Choose whole grain or corn tortillas for your tacos and tostadas. They tend to have a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels compared to refined flour tortillas.
Add Avocado or Guacamole
Include avocado or guacamole as a topping. The healthy fats in avocado can help slow down digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.
Prioritize Lean Proteins
Select lean meats like grilled chicken or turkey. These proteins are less likely to cause spikes compared to higher-fat meats.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach or kale in addition to lettuce. Fiber can slow down the digestion process.
Use Low-Fat Cheese
Opt for low-fat cheese options to reduce saturated fat content, which can affect insulin sensitivity.
Mind the Portion Sizes
Pay attention to portion sizes of beans and cheese, as larger servings can contribute to increased blood sugar levels.
Add a Squeeze of Lime
Use lime juice to enhance flavor without adding extra calories or sugars. The acidity can also help moderate blood sugar responses.
Include a Side Salad
Serve your taco or tostada with a side salad loaded with non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and radishes to increase fiber intake.
Opt for Fresh Salsa
Use fresh tomato salsa instead of store-bought versions that might contain added sugars.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water or unsweetened herbal teas with your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.
