How to consume Vegetarian Stew, White Rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of white rice and increase the portion of stew, which is generally higher in fiber and nutrients.

Whole Grains

Replace white rice with a small serving of brown rice, quinoa, or barley. These alternatives are more slowly digested and can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a protein source like lentils, chickpeas, or tofu in your stew. Protein slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a steadier rise in glucose levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts to your meal. These can help slow digestion and glucose release.

Increase Fiber

Add more high-fiber vegetables to your stew, like broccoli, zucchini, or bell peppers. Fiber helps to slow the digestion process and reduce spikes in blood sugar.

Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your meal. The acidity can help lower blood sugar spikes by slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating to help you feel fuller faster, which might help in reducing the portion size of high-carb foods.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Mindful eating can help you enjoy your meal more and feel satisfied with smaller portions.

Balanced Meal

Ensure your meal includes a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This balance helps to slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk after your meal. Physical activity can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently, reducing the blood sugar spike.
