How to consume Pasta with chicken without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of pasta and increase the portion of chicken to balance the meal.

Whole Grain or Lentil Pasta

Choose whole grain or legume-based pasta varieties, which are digested more slowly than refined pasta.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or zucchini into your pasta dish. These add fiber and nutrients, helping to slow down digestion.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, or a small amount of cheese to your meal. This can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Cook Pasta Al Dente

Cooking pasta until it is just tender can help reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Vinegar

Use a dressing with vinegar or add a splash of it directly to your pasta dish. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Protein Addition

Increase the amount of chicken or add another protein source, such as chickpeas or lentils, to further slow digestion.

Herbs and Spices

Season your dish with herbs and spices like cinnamon, turmeric, or garlic, which can help support stable blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a walk, to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
