How to consume Chow Mein Chinese Noodles without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of chow mein to minimize the impact on blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of sesame seeds to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Vegetables

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables in your chow mein, such as broccoli, bell peppers, or bok choy, to add fiber and reduce the carbohydrate density.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal to help the body process the carbohydrates more effectively.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose whole grain noodles or those made with alternative flours like buckwheat or quinoa.

Exercise After Eating

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to properly digest and process the meal.

Monitor Carb Intake

Be mindful of the total carbohydrate content of the meal, and try to balance it with other meals throughout the day.

Meditate or Relax

Stress can affect blood sugar levels, so practice relaxation techniques to keep stress in check after meals.
