How to consume chicken meat (broilers or fryers, roasted), white rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both chicken meat and white rice to help moderate the spike in blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers alongside your meal to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Choose Brown Rice

Substitute white rice with brown rice. It has more fiber which can help in reducing the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, to your meal to help slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Use Legumes

Mix in legumes like lentils or chickpeas with your rice. They provide additional fiber and protein which can help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat, chewing thoroughly. This can aid in digestion and help better regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Being well-hydrated helps in the transportation of nutrients and maintaining stable blood sugar.

Add a Vinegar-Based Dressing

If you’re having a salad with your meal, use a vinegar-based dressing. The acetic acid in vinegar may help to improve insulin sensitivity.

Alternative Cooking Methods

Opt for methods like steaming or baking rather than frying, to reduce added fats and keep the dish healthier.

Monitor Consistency

Try to keep your meal compositions consistent day-to-day, which can help your body better predict and manage blood sugar responses.
