How to consume sweet and sour chicken or turkey without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans with your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Opt for Brown Rice or Quinoa

Instead of white rice, choose brown rice or quinoa as they have a slower impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices, a handful of nuts, or a tablespoon of olive oil to your meal to help moderate glucose spikes.

Limit the Sauce

Reduce the amount of sweet and sour sauce used, as it often contains high levels of sugar. You can also try making your own sauce with reduced sugar content.

Include Lean Protein

Combine your sweet and sour chicken or turkey with lean proteins like tofu or fish to help balance your meal.

Eat Smaller Portions

Smaller portion sizes can help prevent large spikes in blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water can help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Physical Activity Post-Meal

Engage in light exercise, such as a 15-20 minute walk, after your meal to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Incorporate Whole Grains

Use whole grain wraps or bread if you’re having the meal with any side that requires bread.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to these adjustments and make further tweaks as necessary based on your glucose levels.
