How to consume Chicken With Gravy (Mixture), Steamed Rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the rice and gravy to minimize carbohydrate intake, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Pair with Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or green beans on your plate. These can help slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

High-Fiber Alternatives

Replace white rice with a small portion of quinoa or barley. These grains have more fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Protein Addition

Add a side of lentils or beans to increase plant-based protein and fiber, which aid in stabilizing blood sugar.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, such as a small amount of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Pre-Meal Snack

Eat a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts before your meal to help blunt the glucose response.

Mindful Eating

Chew slowly and thoroughly to promote better digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink water before and during the meal to improve digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help muscles use up some of the glucose from your meal.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body’s response to this meal and adjust ingredients and portion sizes as needed for better blood sugar control.
