How to consume Fajita With Chicken And Vegetables without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the fajita and its fillings. Smaller portions will lead to a smaller glucose response.

Whole Grain Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or low-carbohydrate tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas. They contain more fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of glucose.

Increase Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and leafy greens to your fajitas. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.

Protein and Healthy Fats

Enhance your meal with additional protein and healthy fats, such as adding avocado or a small serving of cheese, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating your meal, as eating slowly can help control blood sugar levels by allowing your body to better regulate insulin.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small snack that includes protein and fiber, such as a handful of nuts or a small Greek yogurt, before your meal to moderate glucose absorption.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Mindful Carbohydrate Pairing

Pair your meal with foods that have a low impact on blood sugar, such as a side salad with a vinaigrette dressing.

Stress Management

Practice stress-reducing techniques, as stress can impact blood sugar levels. Consider deep breathing exercises or meditation before meals.
