How to consume Pastrami Sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or rye bread instead of white bread. These options have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate a generous serving of fiber-rich vegetables like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, or cucumbers to your sandwich. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Limit Condiments

Reduce the quantity of high-sugar condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. Consider using mustard or hummus for added flavor with less sugar.

Control Portion Size

Keep an eye on the portion size of your sandwich. Eating smaller portions can prevent excessive glucose spikes.

Include Protein-Rich Foods

Add a source of lean protein such as turkey or chicken slices to your sandwich. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts. These can help slow digestion and reduce the glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in the smooth metabolism of carbohydrates.

Walk After Eating

Engage in a light walk or moderate physical activity after eating to help lower glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity.

Eat Mindfully

Take your time to chew your food well, which can help slow down digestion and promote better blood sugar control.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and make adjustments as needed.
