How to consume Chicken Sandwich | Sweet Potato without glucose spikes

Focus on Portion Control

Consider eating smaller portions of the chicken sandwich and sweet potatoes. This can help manage the body's insulin response and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Add leafy greens or a small salad with vegetables like spinach or kale to your meal. The high fiber content can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a handful of nuts (almonds or walnuts), alongside your meal. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If possible, opt for a whole grain or multi-grain bun for your chicken sandwich. Whole grains digest more slowly than refined grains, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Include Protein-Rich Sides

Add a side of hummus or Greek yogurt to your meal. These protein-rich foods can help moderate the blood sugar response.

Consider a Pre-Meal Snack

Eating a small protein-rich snack, like a boiled egg or a piece of cheese, 30 minutes before your meal can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Add Vinegar to Your Meal

Consider a vinegar-based dressing for any accompanying salad or as a dip for sweet potatoes. The acidity of vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after your meal. This can help your muscles use up some of the glucose in your blood, reducing the spike.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can promote better digestion and a more controlled release of sugars into your bloodstream.
