How to consume homemade - chicken and vegetable stir fry, 10 oz chicken, 1c. veggies, roti, sweet or dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the portion size of the roti and chocolate to decrease the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help moderate blood glucose levels.

Choose Whole Grain Roti

Opt for whole grain or multigrain roti instead of white flour versions, as they tend to cause a slower release of glucose.

Increase Vegetable Content

Add more non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or spinach to the stir fry to increase fiber content, which can help slow down glucose absorption.

Use Lean Chicken

Ensure that the chicken is lean and cooked with minimal oil to avoid additional calories that can affect metabolism and glucose levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats, such as a small amount of olive oil or avocado, to the meal. Healthy fats can slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein-Rich Snacks

If you feel the need for dessert, consider swapping chocolate for a small portion of nuts or a piece of cheese, which contain protein and can help keep glucose levels steady.

Hydrate Properly

Drink plenty of water before and during the meal to aid in digestion and prevent overeating.

Eat Mindfully

Slow down while eating and savor each bite. This can help prevent overeating and makes it easier for your body to manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try to avoid eating large meals late at night, as this can lead to higher blood glucose spikes.

Stay Physically Active

Incorporate physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help facilitate glucose uptake by muscles and reduce spikes.
