How to consume Seven Layer Salad (Lettuce Salad Made With A Combination Of Onion, Celery, Green Pepper, Peas, Mayonnaise, Cheese, Eggs And/Or Bacon) without glucose spikes

Control Portion Size

Limit the portion size of the salad to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add additional high-fiber vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli to your salad. Fiber helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

Incorporate whole grains like quinoa or brown rice into your meal as a side dish, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Pair with Lean Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey, to help balance the meal and slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Opt for Low-Fat Dressing

Replace mayonnaise with a lower-fat alternative like Greek yogurt or a vinaigrette made from olive oil and vinegar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats, such as avocado or nuts, which can help reduce the overall impact on blood sugar.

Limit Added Sugars

Ensure that any additional ingredients or dressings used do not contain added sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Timing of Meal

Consider eating your salad during lunch rather than dinner, as physical activity after lunch can help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating the salad to better understand how your body responds, and make adjustments accordingly.
