How to consume Chicken, Quinoa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of quinoa to limit carbohydrate intake, as quinoa is a source of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or kale to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a handful of nuts, to your meal. Fats can slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Protein Variation

Consider combining chicken with other protein sources like lentils or beans, which can provide amino acids and further stabilize blood sugar.

Timing of Meals

Try consuming a protein or fiber-rich snack, such as a small serving of Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds, before your main meal. This can moderate the increase in blood sugar levels.

Cooking Methods

Opt for boiling, grilling, or baking chicken instead of frying to avoid added fats and sugars that can contribute to spikes.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water with your meal, as staying hydrated helps with digestion and can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and absorption, potentially reducing spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods and portions affect you personally.

Regular Exercise

Engage in physical activity regularly, as exercise can increase insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
