How to consume Chicken Salad without glucose spikes

Add More Vegetables

Incorporate a variety of non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and leafy greens to increase fiber content, which can help moderate the spike.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of nuts and seeds. These can slow down digestion and absorption, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use a Vinegar-Based Dressing

Opt for a dressing made from vinegar and olive oil. Vinegar has been shown to help manage blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Beans or Lentils

Add a small portion of beans or lentils to the salad to provide additional fiber and protein, which can help in reducing the glucose spike.

Choose Whole-Grain Additions

If you like adding grains to your salad, choose small amounts of whole grains like quinoa or farro instead of refined grains.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of the chicken. Excess protein can also contribute to a rise in glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

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

Eat Slowly and Chew Thoroughly

Taking your time to eat and chewing thoroughly can aid in better digestion and a more gradual absorption of nutrients.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consider having a small pre-meal snack that is high in fiber or protein, such as a handful of almonds, to help reduce the impact of the meal on your glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
