How to consume beef chow mein or chop suey without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the beef chow mein or chop suey to manage the amount of carbohydrates you consume.

Add More Vegetables

Incorporate a larger portion of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, and bok choy to your meal to increase fiber content and slow down glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole grain noodles instead of refined ones, as they tend to have a slower impact on blood glucose levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or nuts to your meal. These can help slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and manage glucose levels.

Balance with Protein

Include additional lean protein sources such as grilled chicken or tofu. Protein helps to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include a Side of Beans

Add a small side of lentils or chickpeas, which are high in fiber and can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to regulate glucose levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to avoid large spikes in blood sugar.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after your meal to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

If adding a dressing to your beef chow mein or chop suey, opt for vinegar-based options as they can help stabilize blood sugar.

Avoid Sugary Sauces

Limit or avoid adding sugary sauces to your meal, as these can cause rapid increases in blood sugar levels. Instead, use herbs and spices for flavor.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels to understand how different foods affect you personally and make adjustments accordingly.
