How to consume Chicken chili without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chicken chili to help manage the spike in glucose levels. Smaller portions can lead to a more moderate increase in blood sugar.

Add More Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini into the chili. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help balance the meal.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal. Healthy fats can slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a steadier rise in blood sugar.

Pair with a Fiber-Rich Side

Serve the chili with a fiber-rich side dish such as a small serving of quinoa, barley, or a salad with leafy greens. Fiber can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Lean Protein

Ensure you are using lean cuts of chicken to reduce any unnecessary fats that can impact digestion and glucose levels.

Incorporate Beans Thoughtfully

If your chili includes beans, choose options like black beans or chickpeas in moderation, as they contain fiber and protein that can help moderate blood sugar response.

Use Spices Wisely

Incorporate spices like cinnamon or turmeric, which may have beneficial effects on blood sugar control.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent any unnecessary spikes in blood sugar.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, allowing your body to signal when it's full and helping to prevent overeating.

Monitor Timing and Frequency

Be mindful of the timing of your meals and try to maintain consistent meal times each day to help regulate blood sugar levels.
