How to consume Chicken Or Turkey Salad without glucose spikes

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add more fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumbers, and bell peppers to your salad. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a handful of nuts like almonds and walnuts. These fats can help moderate the rate of digestion and glucose absorption.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you add grains to your salad, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly than refined grains.

Add Legumes

Consider incorporating a portion of chickpeas or lentils into the salad. These provide protein and fiber, helping to stabilize blood sugar.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

Select dressings that have a vinegar base instead of creamy ones. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Control Portion Size

Be mindful of the portion size of your salad to ensure you're not consuming too many carbohydrates at once.

Eat Protein First

Begin your meal by eating the chicken or turkey in the salad first. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Timing

Try to eat your salad during a time when you're less stressed and can eat slowly, as stress and rapid eating can contribute to glucose spikes.

Incorporate Physical Activity

After eating, take a short walk or engage in light physical activity to help your body use glucose more effectively.
