How to consume Ham And Cheese Sandwich With Lettuce And Spread without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Low-Carb Bread

Opt for whole grain or low-carb bread varieties. They contain more fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add More Vegetables

Increase the amount of lettuce in your sandwich, and add other low-sugar vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, or bell peppers to add volume and nutrients.

Opt for Lean Ham

Select lean ham with no added sugars to reduce unnecessary calorie and sugar intake.

Use a Low-Sugar Spread

Choose a spread that is low in sugar or consider alternatives like mustard or hummus.

Balance with Protein

Add a source of protein such as grilled chicken or turkey slices, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a few slices of avocado or a sprinkle of seeds like chia or flaxseed to improve satiety and help slow digestion.

Control Portion Size

Pay attention to the portion sizes of your ingredients to avoid overeating which can lead to larger glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or unsweetened beverages with your meal, which can help you feel full and potentially reduce the impact of the meal on your glucose levels.

Chew Slowly and Mindfully

Eating slowly can help your body better manage post-meal glucose levels.

Consider a Pre-Meal Walk

A short walk before your meal can increase insulin sensitivity and help manage glucose levels.
