How to consume chow mein or chop suey with meat and noodles without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Noodles

Opt for whole grain noodles instead of refined ones. Whole grains have a slower digestion rate which can help regulate glucose levels.

Increase Vegetable Portions

Add more non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas to your chow mein or chop suey. These vegetables have a minimal impact on glucose levels and add fiber which slows down digestion.

Lean Protein Choices

Use lean meats such as chicken breast or tofu instead of higher-fat meats. Lean proteins can help regulate blood sugar spikes.

Reduce Sauce Quantity

Limit the amount of sauce you use, especially if it contains sugar or high amounts of sodium, which can affect insulin sensitivity.

Healthy Oil Use

Cook with healthy oils such as olive oil instead of oils high in saturated fats. Healthy fats can contribute to slower digestion and more stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Legumes

Add legumes such as beans or lentils. They have a low impact on glucose levels and add additional fiber and protein to your meal.

Smaller Portions

Eat smaller portions of noodles and increase the portion of vegetables and lean meat to balance your meal better.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can help improve digestion and glucose control.

Include a Side Salad

Begin your meal with a salad containing leafy greens and a light vinaigrette. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from the main dish.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can help with better digestion and more stable blood sugar levels.
