How to consume chicken pesto pasta without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the chicken pesto pasta to limit the intake of carbohydrates.
Balanced Meal
Add a side of leafy green salad with a vinaigrette dressing to increase fiber intake, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Whole Grain Pasta
Substitute regular pasta with whole grain or legume-based pasta to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Protein Addition
Increase the amount of chicken in the dish to enhance protein intake, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats into the meal, such as avocados or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds or walnuts, to slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Vegetable Inclusion
Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to the pasta dish to increase fiber content.
Timing of Meals
Consider eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than large meals to prevent spikes.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during the meal to assist in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.
Pre-Meal Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating to improve insulin sensitivity.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and allow the body to better manage blood sugar responses.
Monitor Ingredients
Check the pesto sauce ingredients for added sugars or preservatives and opt for a homemade version if necessary.
