How to consume Tuna Salad without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the tuna salad to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber vegetables such as spinach, kale, or cucumbers into your tuna salad. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. These can help to reduce the glucose spike by slowing digestion.

Increase Protein

Ensure your salad includes sufficient protein, which can help stabilize blood sugar. Consider adding boiled eggs or a small amount of seeds and nuts.

Choose Whole-Grain Options

If you are eating your tuna salad with bread, opt for whole-grain or a small portion of whole-grain crackers.

Limit Added Sugars

Be cautious with the type and amount of dressing used in your tuna salad. Prefer dressings that are low in sugar or make a homemade version using lemon juice and herbs.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal. It can aid in digestion and help maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This simple practice can help in reducing the rapid spikes in glucose as it aids digestion.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like walking for about 10-15 minutes after your meal to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep a food diary to track what you eat and how it affects your glucose levels, allowing you to make informed adjustments over time.
