How to consume Salad lunch without glucose spikes

Add Protein Sources

Include lean proteins like grilled chicken, turkey, tofu, or legumes. Protein helps slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Use Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds. These fats can help slow the digestion process.

Opt for Non-Starchy Vegetables

Focus on vegetables like leafy greens, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli for your salad base. They have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Include Fibrous Vegetables

Add vegetables rich in fiber, such as carrots, beets, and lentils. Fiber helps reduce the absorption rate of sugars.

Limit High-Sugar Dressings

Avoid dressings that are high in sugar. Opt for homemade dressings with ingredients like olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and herbs.

Balanced Carbohydrates

If you include carbohydrates, such as whole grains or legumes, ensure they are balanced with protein and fats to slow their digestion.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes, especially with higher-carb ingredients like beans or sweet potatoes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating to allow your body to better regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and blood sugar control.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you and adjust your salad ingredients accordingly.
