How to consume Subway without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Breads

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat bread instead of white bread for your sandwich. Whole grains have a slower digestion rate, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Plenty of Vegetables

Load your sandwich with non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. These are low in carbohydrates and rich in fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Include Protein and Healthy Fats

Add lean proteins such as turkey, chicken, or tuna, and consider including healthy fats like avocado. Protein and fats can slow down digestion and help maintain steady glucose levels.

Avoid Sugary Sauces

Steer clear of sauces and dressings with high sugar content. Opt for mustard, vinegar, or olive oil-based dressings instead.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of your sandwich. Consider opting for a 6-inch sub instead of a foot-long to reduce your carbohydrate intake.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal to help digestion and avoid sugary drinks which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Balanced Side Choices

Choose sides that are lower in carbohydrates, such as a small salad or a handful of nuts instead of chips or cookies.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues. This practice can aid in digestion and help prevent overeating.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a 10-15 minute walk, to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different foods affect your blood sugar and make adjustments to your future choices based on your observations.
