How to consume Chicken Breast, Quinoa (Cooked) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of quinoa in your meal to lower the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help mitigate the glucose spike.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or kale into your meal. These are high in fiber and can help slow down glucose absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats, like avocados or a small amount of nuts, to your meal. These can help slow digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Eat Protein First

Start your meal by eating the chicken breast first. Consuming protein before carbohydrates can help moderate blood sugar levels after eating.

Incorporate Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your quinoa or salad. The acidity can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Include Legumes

Mix in a small portion of lentils or chickpeas with your quinoa. These legumes are high in protein and fiber and can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and prevent potential glucose spikes.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, thoroughly chewing your food to enhance digestion and allow your body to better manage glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your muscles use up glucose more effectively.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider having your meal at a regular time each day to help stabilize your blood sugar levels over time.
