How to consume Chicken Meatballs without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the chicken meatballs to better manage the amount of carbohydrates entering your system.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers with your meal. These can help slow down digestion and prevent spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair chicken meatballs with healthy fats like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, which can slow glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If you are serving the meatballs with grains, opt for whole grains like quinoa, barley, or whole-grain pasta to ensure a slower digestion process.

Use Low-Sugar Sauces

Avoid sauces high in sugar. Instead, use tomato-based sauces without added sugars or experiment with homemade herb-based sauces.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help your body process the food more efficiently and prevent glucose spikes.

Include a Protein Source

Balance the meal with an additional protein source like beans or a small portion of lentils to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time eating and chew your food thoroughly to aid in the digestive process, which can help in regulating glucose levels.

Combine with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of legumes or lentils, which are high in fiber and can assist in moderating blood sugar levels when combined with your meal.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in a light post-meal walk to help your muscles use up glucose more efficiently, minimizing spikes.
