How to consume Chicken Nuggets, French Fries without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. The fiber content helps slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate sources of healthy fats such as avocado or a small serving of nuts. These can help to moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water or herbal tea with your meal. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Select Whole Grain Alternatives
If available, opt for whole grain versions of French fries or chicken nuggets made with whole wheat or other whole grain ingredients.
Moderate Portion Sizes
Keep portion sizes in check to avoid overconsumption of carbohydrates, which can lead to spikes in glucose levels.
Consider Protein Pairings
Add a small serving of lean protein such as grilled chicken or fish to help balance the macronutrient profile of the meal.
Include a Small Salad
Start your meal with a salad containing greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes dressed with olive oil. This can help fill you up and reduce the impact of the main dish.
Opt for Baked or Air-Fried Options
If possible, choose baked or air-fried versions of chicken nuggets and fries to reduce unhealthy fats and overall calorie intake.
Use Vinegar-Based Dressings
Adding a splash of vinegar to your salad or meal can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues. This can prevent overeating and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
