How to consume Chicken Breast, Quinoa (Cooked) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the amount of quinoa to a moderate portion size, as controlling the quantity can help manage blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Include non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. These can slow down digestion and reduce the spike in glucose.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a small handful of nuts. Fats can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Combine with Protein
Continue including chicken breast as a lean protein source, as it can help stabilize blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid in digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.
Eat Mindfully
Chew your food slowly and thoroughly to enhance digestion and reduce the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream.
Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Incorporate a splash of vinegar or lemon juice over your quinoa or salad. The acidity can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Monitor Meal Timing
Space out your meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to maintain consistent blood sugar levels.
Include a Pre-Meal Walk
Consider taking a short walk before your meal to enhance insulin sensitivity and help manage glucose levels.
Opt for Whole-Grain Quinoa
If available, select whole-grain or less processed quinoa varieties to further mitigate glucose spikes.
