How to consume turkish chickpea salad without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the chickpea salad to help manage the glucose spike.
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Eat with Fiber-rich Vegetables
Pair the salad with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to increase fiber intake and slow glucose absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after meals to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Chew Slowly
Take your time to chew food thoroughly, which aids digestion and can help to prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Combine with Low-Impact Carbohydrates
If you need additional carbs, opt for foods like quinoa or barley, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.
Monitor Meal Timing
Try to maintain consistent meal times and avoid large gaps between meals to prevent spikes.
Use Vinegar as Dressing
Incorporate a vinegar-based dressing, such as apple cider vinegar, which may help lower the post-meal glucose response.
