How to consume turkish chickpea salad without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of the Turkish chickpea salad to limit your overall carbohydrate intake.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a hard-boiled egg to slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Fiber

Add extra non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or bell peppers to the salad to increase fiber content, which helps to moderate blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado slices, olive oil dressing, or a sprinkle of chia seeds to promote a slower rise in blood glucose.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a dressing made with vinegar and olive oil, as vinegar can help to reduce blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and slower absorption of carbohydrates.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small snack like a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese before your meal; this can help to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Carbs

Keep track of the other carbohydrate sources you consume throughout the day to ensure you are not exceeding your daily limits.
