How to consume Chicken With Gravy (Mixture), Steamed Rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chicken with gravy and steamed rice to minimize the carbohydrate intake, which can help mitigate the spike in glucose levels.

Fiber Addition

Add non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. Their high fiber content can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in glucose levels.

Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats like avocado or nuts, and additional lean protein such as grilled fish or tofu. These can help slow digestion and maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Substitute

Instead of regular steamed rice, opt for a smaller portion of brown rice or quinoa. These alternatives have a more complex carbohydrate structure which can help in reducing glucose spikes.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help your body process the carbohydrates more steadily.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to metabolize the carbohydrates and manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Vinegar Addition

Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal or salad. It has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes after meals.

Post-Meal Movement

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your body utilize glucose more efficiently and prevent spikes in blood sugar levels.

Balanced Meals Throughout the Day

Ensure that other meals and snacks throughout the day are balanced and contain a mix of macronutrients to maintain overall blood sugar stability.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods and portion sizes affect your glucose. Use this information to adjust your diet accordingly.
