How to consume Chicken Avocado Salad without glucose spikes

Incorporate More Fiber

Add leafy greens like spinach or kale to your salad. Fiber-rich foods slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or tomatoes. These are low in carbohydrates and help in blood sugar management.

Choose a Healthy Dressing

Use dressings based on olive oil and vinegar instead of creamy dressings. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Nuts or Seeds

Sprinkle some almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds on your salad. They are rich in healthy fats and protein, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Portion Control

Be mindful of your portion sizes, particularly with the chicken and avocado, to avoid consuming excessive carbohydrates in one meal.

Add a Protein Source

Consider adding a boiled egg or a small amount of cheese to your salad. This can increase the protein content, which can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Hydrate Well

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

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal. Eating slowly can enhance digestion and help prevent blood sugar spikes.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, like a brisk walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat your salad at regular intervals throughout the day to prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar levels between meals.
