How to consume Chicken Soup With Dumplings And Potatoes without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the dumplings and potatoes in your chicken soup to lower the carbohydrate intake and, consequently, the glucose spike.
Add More Vegetables
Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli in your soup. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help moderate blood sugar responses.
Increase Protein and Healthy Fats
Add more protein by including extra chicken or a hard-boiled egg. Incorporate healthy fats like a drizzle of olive oil or a few slices of avocado to slow digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, replace regular dumplings with ones made from whole grain flour or use whole grain pasta as an alternative to regular dumplings.
Limit Potatoes
Substitute some of the potatoes with lower-carb options like cauliflower or turnips, which can mimic the texture of potatoes when cooked.
Incorporate Legumes
Add beans or lentils to your soup. They are high in fiber and protein, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to your soup. These acidic components can help lower the overall impact on your blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.
Monitor Meal Timing
Try consuming your soup as part of a balanced meal, and avoid having it on an empty stomach to minimize the glucose spike.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help promote glucose uptake by your muscles and reduce blood sugar levels.
