How to consume chicken or turkey chow mein or chop suey without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chow mein or chop suey to minimize the impact on your glucose levels.

Add Vegetables

Include a larger proportion of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or snow peas, which can help slow the absorption of glucose.

Protein Addition

Incorporate additional lean protein sources such as grilled chicken breast or tofu to promote satiety and reduce glucose spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of sesame seeds to help slow digestion.

Swap Noodles/Rice

Consider substituting the noodles or rice with alternatives like whole grain or brown rice versions, which can have a more gradual effect on blood sugar.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal to help manage glucose levels.

Exercise Post-meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use glucose more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to prevent large spikes from occurring.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the meal without overwhelming your system.

Choose Low-Sugar Sauces

Use low-sugar or no-sugar-added sauces to reduce the overall sugar content of the dish.
