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

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the white rice and chicken with gravy to minimize the overall carbohydrate and sugar intake.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or zucchini into the meal. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help slow down the digestion process.

Choose Brown Rice

Substitute white rice with brown rice. Brown rice is a whole grain option that is digested more slowly, leading to a steadier rise in blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fat, such as avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, to help moderate the absorption rate of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Protein

Add a lean protein source, such as grilled tofu or lentils, to create a more balanced meal that can help keep blood sugar stable.

Opt for a Lighter Gravy

Use a homemade or low-sodium gravy made from broth and thickened with a small amount of whole grain flour instead of a heavy, high-sugar gravy.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea during your meal, as staying hydrated can help the body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Include Vinegar or Lemon

Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to the meal, as the acidity can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food and signal satiety, helping to avoid overeating.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar before and after meals to understand how different foods and combinations affect your glucose levels, allowing you to adjust your diet accordingly.
