How to consume half salad and half sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or multigrain bread for your sandwich to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu in your sandwich to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil-based dressing to your salad. Healthy fats can help reduce spikes.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Ensure your salad has plenty of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, bell peppers, and cucumbers to increase fiber intake.

Limit Sugary Dressings

Use dressings like balsamic vinegar or lemon juice instead of those high in sugar to avoid unnecessary sugar intake.

Watch Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portions of your sandwich and salad to prevent overeating, which can lead to larger spikes.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Snack Wisely

If you feel like snacking, choose options such as nuts or seeds, which can help maintain steady glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help moderate blood sugar responses.

Monitor Overall Carb Intake

Be mindful of the total amount of carbohydrates in your meal and adjust other meals throughout the day if necessary.
