How to consume Chicken Sandwich | Sweet Potato without glucose spikes

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers. These can slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for a sandwich made with whole grain or multigrain bread rather than white bread, as they are digested more slowly.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your meal. They can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the sweet potatoes or consider having just half a sandwich to minimize the spike.

Combine with Protein

Ensure your sandwich has a good amount of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, to help balance the carbohydrates in sweet potatoes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and maintain blood sugar levels.

Include Legumes

Add a small serving of beans or lentils to your meal. They are high in fiber and can help keep your blood sugar steady.

Timing of Meals

Eat your sandwich and sweet potato as part of a balanced meal rather than on their own. Having them with other nutritious foods can balance your blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise post-meal to help your body use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process the meal efficiently.
