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

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of sweet and sour chicken or turkey to limit the intake of sugars and carbohydrates.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Include vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers in your meal. These are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

If you’re having rice with your meal, opt for brown rice or quinoa, which are slower to digest compared to white rice.

Add Proteins

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken breast, tofu, or legumes. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts (almonds or walnuts) to your meal to further slow glucose absorption.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. This can help with digestion and reduce the impact of sugar spikes.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small, healthy snack like a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese before eating to help moderate blood sugar responses.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food and reduce overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, after your meal to help your muscles use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Ingredients

Prepare the dish at home to control the amount of sugar in the sweet and sour sauce. Consider using natural sweeteners like stevia or using less sugar overall.
