How to consume Nandos without glucose spikes

Incorporate Protein

Add a grilled chicken breast without the skin or opt for a butterfly chicken breast to balance your meal with lean protein, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Consider adding avocado or a small serving of olives to your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Choose Smart Carbs

Swap high-carb sides like fries or garlic bread for healthier options such as sweet potato wedges or corn on the cob, which are more slowly digested.

Add Vegetables

Include a side salad or grilled vegetables with your meal. Vegetables provide fiber, which helps in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes, particularly with high-carbohydrate foods. Consider sharing sides or ordering smaller portions.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or unsweetened beverages instead of sugary sodas or juices, as these can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating, as eating slowly can help your body better regulate blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light exercise before your meal, which can improve your body's ability to manage blood sugar.

Post-Meal Activity

Consider a light walk after your meal to help your muscles utilize the glucose more efficiently, reducing the spike.

Monitor Your Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect you, allowing you to make more informed choices in the future.
