White rice

Question, will consuming an egg or milk or a source of protein (besides soy protein) >=7 grams, will protein prevent a increase of blood sugar versus eating multiple servings of rice by its self?

Protein spikes blood sugar as well.1

Macros consumed in combination are not well studied, also blood sugar effects can vary between individuals. Blood sugar meters are relatively inexpensive and you find out what combination of things affect your blood sugar.1

Fiber. Eat your veggies.0

Oh ,well I wanted something I could eat with white rice to slow down blood sugar spiking.
Why?3 -
I suggest running a few experiments with your glucometer. Remember to test two hours after the meal.
My personal experience is that oil and/or vinegar slows down the spike.
Milk, no. Milk with lactose and whey spikes hard, too.
A stir fry would be nice. Or a cold salad with rice in an oil and vinegar dressing.2 -
Soy is awful for you so is white rice1

Because I need white rice but without its diabetic increasing effects sir
Are you diabetic (or pre-diabetic), or are you concerned that blood sugar spikes will make you diabetic?0 -

Yes I am so what food to combine with white rice?
You answered yes to an either or question
With a medical condition, you should be getting guidance from your doctor or a dietician. Blood sugar balance can be highly individual.
Without a medical condition, you don't need to be concerned about spikes.3 -

Yes I do if I don't want to become diabetic
Blood sugar spikes don't cause diabetes.7 -
I suffer from hypoglycemia and for me, if I just ate white rice by itself, I would be shaky and irritable 3 hours later. If I ate white rice with some sort of fat/protein, I would probably be OK. If I had brown rice and protein, I'd be feeling awesome and fuller for longer. Unless you have a medical condition or diabetes, eating white rice by itself is fine. You'll probably be hungry within a couple hours though unless you pair it with some fat or protein.0

Protein or fiber will help with that. Both of these digest more slowly than non-fiber carbs so while they do not prevent an increase in blood sugar, it slows the release so that you don't get the sharp spike.1 -
You could eat it in a bun made with hfcs.
Or as part of a meal with fibrous vegies and some fats like others have suggested.4 -

You could add in a bit of chia seeds to up the fiber content. They are fairly tasteless.1 -
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would you eat a bunch of servings of white rice alone? Are you having a meal? Have the rice with lean protein, vegetables, and cook the vegetables in some coconut oil or olive oil or butter or whatever you like. Maybe add some nuts too. You know, a meal.
If that doesn't prevent a blood sugar spike, you might need to reduce the serving of white rice or replace it with some other food.5 -
So if I am reading this right, you are trying to prevent sugar spikes to avoid diabetes. It doesn't work that way.
All foods spike, just at different rates. Whey protein is the fastest, then sugar, then carbs. Protein is slower and fats are slower still.
A meal that includes all the macros will allow for a gradual increase in blood sugars over an extended time. Imagine gentle waves washing up on a beach instead of a tsunami.
People with properly regulating insulin levels will tamp down on the tsunami.
People with insulin resistance can't get enough insulin to regulate all the blood sugar. It could be an impaired pancreas, cells that aren't taking in sugar as they should, or obesity (just too much flesh) where there isn't enough insulin to go around.7 -
You should eat quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice.2

I recently watched a Japanese show on BG spikes. They found that when rice was eaten last, following protein and non-starchy vegetable, BG did not rise as much as when rice was eaten first. Protein and the fibre in the vegetables will reduce the BG spike. BG will rise slower.
... Of course limiting or skipping the rice will have the greatest BG lowering effect. BG won't rise as much. Period.
Exercising after a meal of BG spiking foods will help lower BG too

The above video is not exactly low carb savvy, it is pretty basic, but the macros intake order is interesting.RuNaRoUnDaFiEld wrote: »Protein spikes blood sugar as well.
Protein spikes insulin and not blood glucose. Unless you have eaten a LOT of protein, BG will not "spike"1 -

Brown rice and white rice are virtually identical in terms of nutrients.
