How to consume chicken pesto pasta without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your chicken pesto pasta. Smaller servings can help minimize the impact on your glucose levels.

Balance Your Meal

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens or broccoli. These foods are low in carbohydrates and can help balance the overall meal effect on your blood sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a small serving of healthy fats, such as avocado or nuts, alongside your pasta. Fats can slow down the digestion process and help prevent spikes.

Choose Whole Grain Pasta

If possible, opt for whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta. These options are digested more slowly.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Protein

Ensure there is an adequate amount of protein in your meal with the chicken. This will help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Eat Mindfully

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body process the carbohydrates more gradually.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.

Monitor Carb Quality

Be mindful of the type of carbohydrates you consume with your pasta. Opt for those that are less processed and contain more fiber.

Herbal Tea

Consider drinking a cup of herbal tea such as chamomile or peppermint post-meal. Some herbal teas can aid in digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
