How to consume mixed salad greens, roasted broiled or baked chicken without glucose spikes

Incorporate Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables to your salad, such as cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes, which can help to slow down glucose absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds) in your salad to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include a Protein Source

Ensure your chicken is skinless and lean, and consider adding other protein sources like tofu or boiled eggs to increase satiety and reduce glucose spikes.

Choose a Fiber-Rich Base

Use salad greens that are high in fiber, such as spinach or kale, to help slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressing

Opt for a vinegar-based dressing instead of creamy ones to add flavor without causing a spike in blood sugar. Vinegar may also improve insulin sensitivity.

Incorporate Legumes

Add small amounts of legumes such as chickpeas or lentils to your salad. They provide additional fiber and protein, which can help maintain steady glucose levels.

Mind Portion Sizes

Be mindful of portion sizes for all ingredients, especially the chicken, to avoid overconsumption of carbohydrates and calories in a single meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones to maintain even blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to signal fullness, which can prevent overeating and a subsequent glucose spike.
