How to consume Quinoa (Cooked), Salmon without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of quinoa in your meal to decrease the overall glucose load.
Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal to increase fiber intake, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate a source of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil, to slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.
Eat Protein First
Start your meal with the salmon to slow the digestion of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to help with digestion and improve nutrient absorption.
Monitor Meal Timing
Space out your meals and avoid eating large quantities in a short period to allow your body to better manage blood sugar levels.
Consider Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar to your quinoa salad, as vinegar has been shown to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Exercise Regularly
Engage in regular physical activity, such as a short walk after meals, to help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.
Use Alternative Grains
Occasionally substitute quinoa with lower-carbohydrate grains like barley or amaranth, if well-tolerated, as part of a varied diet.
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and paying attention to hunger and fullness cues to prevent overeating.
