How to consume english fish and chips without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the fish and chips. Smaller portions will naturally contain fewer carbohydrates and fats, leading to a smaller glucose spike.

Eat Slowly

Take your time when eating. Eating slowly can help prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar levels by allowing your body to process the food more gradually.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as a side of grilled chicken or a boiled egg. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a small handful of nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can also help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Opt for Whole Grains

Substitute regular chips with baked sweet potato wedges or another whole grain alternative to reduce rapid glucose absorption.

Veggie Up

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. These vegetables have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels and increase fiber intake.

Vinegar

Use malt vinegar or apple cider vinegar as a condiment. Vinegar has been shown to help moderate blood sugar levels when consumed with high-carb meals.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Exercise

Take a brisk walk or do light exercise after your meal. Physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Fiber Addition

Incorporate high-fiber foods such as lentils or chickpeas into your meal. Fiber can slow down the digestive process and reduce the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Limit Sugary Drinks

Avoid consuming sugary beverages with your meal. Opt for water, herbal tea, or a sugar-free drink to prevent additional glucose spikes.

Meal Timing

Try to eat your meal at a consistent time each day. Regular meal times can help your body maintain stable blood sugar levels.
