How to consume Oriental Chicken Or Turkey Garden Salad (Chicken And/Or Turkey, Lettuce, Fruit, Nuts) without glucose spikes

Choose Lean Proteins

Opt for grilled or roasted chicken or turkey without skin to reduce added fats and sugars from processed meats.

Incorporate More Vegetables

Add a variety of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumbers, and bell peppers to the salad to increase fiber content and help slow down glucose absorption.

Limit Sugary Dressings

Use dressings sparingly and choose those low in sugar. Consider making your own with vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs to control sugar and carb content.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of nuts such as almonds or walnuts to increase satiety and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Mind the Fruit Portion

When adding fruits, choose those lower in sugar such as berries or slices of green apple. Keep portions moderate to avoid excessive sugar intake.

Include Fiber-Rich Additions

Add seeds like chia or flaxseeds to the salad for an extra fiber boost, which can help reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal to aid digestion and prevent dehydration, which can sometimes affect blood sugar regulation.

Control Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the salad portion, especially the amount of high-calorie toppings like nuts and dried fruits, which can contribute to higher glucose levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat, chew thoroughly, and savor each bite. This can help improve digestion and moderate insulin response.

Combine with Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or some form of mild physical activity after eating to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
