How to consume Chicken and salad without glucose spikes

Choose Low-Carb Salad Dressings

Opt for vinaigrettes or oil-based dressings rather than creamy ones. These often contain fewer carbohydrates and sugars.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If adding grains to your salad, choose quinoa or barley. These are better options than refined grains.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds. They can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Limit Sweet Additions

Avoid or reduce ingredients like dried fruits or candied nuts, which can quickly raise blood sugar levels.

Use Non-Starchy Vegetables

Focus on adding vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumbers, and bell peppers, which are low in carbohydrates.

Opt for Grilled Chicken

Instead of fried or breaded chicken, use grilled or baked chicken breast to lower the carbohydrate content.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on the portion sizes of all components in your meal, ensuring a balanced intake without overloading on any single ingredient.

Incorporate Beans or Legumes

Add a moderate amount of chickpeas or lentils to your salad for a nutritious protein boost.

Slow Down Eating

Eating more slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels after a meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal, which can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
