How to consume Chicken With Gravy (Mixture), Mixed Salad Greens without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chicken with gravy to decrease the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in minimizing the glucose spike.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you're having any side dishes, choose whole grain options like quinoa or brown rice in small amounts. They are absorbed more slowly, leading to a steadier blood sugar level.

Balance with Protein and Healthy Fats

Add a serving of healthy fats such as avocado or nuts to your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and reduce the glucose spike.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add more fiber-rich vegetables to your mixed salad greens, such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers, to slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

Opt for a vinegar-based salad dressing instead of cream-based ones. Vinegar can help in moderating blood sugar levels by slowing the stomach’s emptying process.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal to help with digestion and to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help with better digestion and give your body more time to process the food without a rapid glucose spike.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after meals to help your muscles use more of the glucose for energy, thereby reducing blood sugar levels.

Monitor Ingredients in Gravy

Be mindful of the amount of any added sugars or high-carb thickeners in the gravy and try to use alternatives like cornstarch in moderation.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect your glucose levels, allowing you to make more informed choices in the future.
