How to consume Chicken, Cooked Mixed Vegetables (Corn, Lima Beans, Peas, Green Beans And Carrots) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chicken and the mixed vegetables to help moderate the intake of carbohydrates and protein, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Pair with Fiber

Add a source of fiber to your meal, such as a small serving of quinoa or barley, as these can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Integrate healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) into your meal. These fats can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Carb Vegetables

Incorporate more low-carb vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli to balance out the higher-carb vegetables in the mix.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Add Vinegar

Consider adding a tablespoon of vinegar, such as apple cider or balsamic, to your meal or as a dressing for the vegetables. Vinegar may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Increase Protein Variety

Instead of consuming only chicken, combine it with other protein sources like tofu or lentils to diversify the protein profile and potentially moderate glucose response.

Monitor Cooking Methods

Opt for steaming or roasting the vegetables instead of boiling, as this can help retain their nutritional value and fiber content, which can aid in controlling blood sugar.

Eat Mindfully

Chew your food slowly and thoroughly, and take breaks between bites. This practice can aid digestion and help prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help your muscles use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream and reduce the impact of the spike.
