How to consume chow mein or chop suey with meat and noodles without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of chow mein or chop suey you consume. Smaller portions can help minimize the glucose spike.

Balance with Vegetables

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables in your meal, such as broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas, to add fiber and nutrients which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Noodles

Substitute regular noodles with whole-grain or brown rice noodles, which have a slower conversion to glucose in the bloodstream.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp, to slow the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce glucose spikes.

Healthy Fat Addition

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a sprinkle of sesame seeds, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food, which can help prevent rapid spikes in glucose.

Low-Sugar Sauces

Use low-sugar or no-added-sugar sauces to flavor your dish, as sauces can often be a hidden source of sugar.

Pre-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, before eating, as exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume these meals earlier in the day when your body is more efficient at processing carbohydrates.
