How to consume Grilled Chicken, Quinoa without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of both grilled chicken and quinoa. Smaller portions can help prevent a large spike in glucose levels.
Balanced Meals
Incorporate more non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli with your meal. These foods are low in sugar and add fiber, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Fats can help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Use a splash of vinegar or lemon juice on your salad or grilled chicken. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar levels after a meal.
Pre-meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, before eating. Exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar spikes.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor your food. Mindful eating can improve digestion and help regulate blood sugar by giving your body time to process the glucose.
Alternative Grains
Consider substituting quinoa with barley or bulgur, which are also nutritious and may cause a slower rise in blood sugar.
Pre-meal Snack
Consider eating a small, healthy snack like a small handful of almonds or a few slices of cucumber before your main meal to help stabilize glucose levels.
Post-meal Activity
Take a short walk after eating. Light physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels and improve digestion.
