How to consume Guacamole, Pesto Chicken without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Options

If you're having guacamole with chips or bread, opt for whole grain versions which typically lead to a slower rise in blood sugar.

Incorporate Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair your meal with non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, bell peppers, or cucumbers to add fiber and bulk, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small handful of nuts or seeds like almonds or chia seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the digestion process, reducing the spike in glucose.

Focus on Portion Control

Pay attention to serving sizes. Eating smaller portions of guacamole and pesto chicken can help limit the glucose response.

Include Lean Proteins

Add lean proteins such as grilled tofu or a small piece of fish to your meal to balance your intake and support stable blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as hydration can aid in digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Opt for Vinegar-Based Dressings

If you're having a salad alongside your meal, use a vinegar-based dressing. Vinegar has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Add a Side of Legumes

Include a side of beans or lentils. These foods digest slowly and can help buffer the glucose spike from the meal.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk after your meal to help your body use glucose more effectively and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating Practices

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can improve digestion and help your body process glucose more efficiently.
