How to consume chicken or turkey chow mein or chop suey without glucose spikes

Increase Fiber Intake

Add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your chow mein or chop suey. These are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain noodles or brown rice as a base instead of refined noodles or white rice. These options have a slower rate of glucose absorption.

Add Lean Proteins

Incorporate lean proteins like tofu, tempeh, or more chicken and turkey to your dish. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Limit Sauces

Many sauces are high in sugar. Use smaller amounts or choose low-sugar alternatives like tamari or a light soy sauce.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes. Eating smaller amounts of chow mein or chop suey can help prevent a large glucose spike.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil. Fats can slow down the digestion process and therefore the rate of glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Hydration can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. This can help in better digestion and slower glucose absorption.

Add Vinegar

A splash of vinegar in your dish can help lower blood sugar levels due to its acetic acid content.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals throughout the day, and avoid having a large meal all at once. Spacing out your meals can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
