How to consume english chicken salad without glucose spikes

Incorporate More Fiber

Add ingredients like avocado or roasted chickpeas to your salad. Fiber can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If your salad includes any bread, opt for whole grain or whole wheat versions as they release energy more slowly.

Add Healthy Fats

Include nuts or seeds such as almonds, walnuts, or flaxseeds. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Include Non-Starchy Vegetables

Increase the portion of vegetables like spinach, kale, or bell peppers in your salad for additional fiber and nutrients.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the quantity of higher-carbohydrate ingredients such as croutons or dressings which can add to the glycemic load.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressing

Opt for a dressing with vinegar, which may help in lowering glucose response after meals.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water, as staying well-hydrated can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Ensure your salad includes a good portion of chicken or another protein source to help slow the digestion of carbohydrates.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to process the food.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in a light walk or gentle exercise after eating to help lower blood sugar levels effectively.
