How to consume Lentil Salad without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of lentil salad you consume to manage the glucose spike effectively.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts such as almonds or walnuts to slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to balance your meal and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber

Enhance the fiber content by adding vegetables like spinach, kale, or bell peppers. Fiber slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a dressing with vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Whole Grain Additions

Mix in small amounts of whole grains like quinoa or barley to provide sustained energy without a rapid rise in glucose levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating to help moderate your appetite and potentially reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process the meal more effectively.

Pre-Meal Exercise

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

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to the timing of your meals; try not to have the lentil salad on an empty stomach. Having a small, balanced snack earlier can help manage blood sugar responses.
