How to consume Mixed Salad Greens, Shrimp without glucose spikes

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate lean proteins like grilled chicken or tofu and healthy fats such as avocado or a small handful of nuts into your salad to slow glucose absorption.

Incorporate Low-Carb Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and broccoli, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use a Vinegar-Based Dressing

Opt for a dressing made with vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which may help in moderating glucose levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Add high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds to your salad. Fiber can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbs.

Eat Smaller Portions

Consider reducing the portion size of higher-carb items in your salad, like any added fruits or starchy vegetables, to minimize their impact on blood sugar.

Combine with a Balanced Meal

Eat your salad along with a balanced meal that includes whole grains or legumes like quinoa or lentils. These can offer a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Monitor Shrimp Preparation

Avoid fried shrimp and opt for boiled, steamed, or grilled shrimp to reduce the intake of unhealthy fats and carbs.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal to help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Consider Timing

If possible, time your meal to align with your body's natural insulin sensitivity peaks, which are typically in the morning or early afternoon.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after eating, which can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
