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

Portion Control

Limit the amount of each ingredient, especially those higher in carbohydrates, such as the tortilla and beans, to manage your overall intake.

Whole Grain or Corn Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or corn tortillas, which are generally lower in impact compared to white flour tortillas.

Add Avocado

Include slices of avocado, which provide healthy fats and can help stabilize glucose levels.

Choose Lean Proteins

Select lean cuts of meat like chicken breast or turkey to reduce added fats and improve overall digestion.

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Add extra leafy greens like spinach or kale in addition to lettuce for added fiber content.

Balance with Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of nuts or seeds, such as chia or flaxseeds, to add healthy fats and fiber.

Limit Cheese

Use a moderate amount of cheese to enjoy the flavor without adding excessive fat or calories that can impact digestion.

Mind the Beans

Use black beans or pinto beans, cooked from scratch when possible, to ensure they are minimally processed.

Fresh Salsa

Opt for fresh salsa with no added sugars or preservatives, focusing on ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal to aid digestion and help with metabolic processes.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and take your time to enjoy your meal, which can aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or some light physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.
