How to consume Chicken, Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Begin by reducing the portion size of both chicken and hummus. Consuming smaller amounts can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale into your meal. These can slow down digestion and reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Include Whole Grains

Pair your meal with a small serving of whole grains such as quinoa or barley. These grains digest slowly, helping to moderate glucose levels.

Balance with Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado or a small serving of nuts like almonds or walnuts. These can help stabilize blood sugar.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, chewing thoroughly. Eating slowly can help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Incorporate Protein

If possible, add a small serving of plant-based proteins like lentils or chickpeas to further balance the meal.

Timing and Frequency

Consider spreading your meals out evenly throughout the day to avoid large spikes in blood sugar from any one meal.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help with glucose uptake by your muscles.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Track the amount of carbohydrates you consume with your meal and adjust if necessary to minimize spikes.
