How to consume cooked salmon, potato without glucose spikes

Add Leafy Greens

Incorporate a generous portion of leafy greens such as spinach or kale in your meal. These vegetables are low in digestible carbohydrates and can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) to your meal. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more stable glucose response.

Eat Protein-Rich Foods

Increase the portion of protein in your meal by adding beans or lentils. These foods not only provide additional protein but also have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which can help manage glucose levels.

Use Whole Grains

If you are looking to replace the potato, consider using quinoa or barley. These whole grains are a better alternative that won't cause a high glucose spike.

Opt for Vinegar

Use vinegar-based dressings or add a small amount of vinegar to your meal. Vinegar has been shown to help lower blood sugar spikes after meals.

Choose Berries for Dessert

If you want a sweet finish to your meal, go for a handful of berries like strawberries or blueberries. These fruits are lower in sugar and can help maintain steady glucose levels.

Drink Green Tea

Accompany your meal with green tea instead of sugary drinks. Green tea contains compounds that may help regulate blood sugar levels.

Slow Down Eating

Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly. This can aid in better digestion and help prevent rapid increases in blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of portion sizes, especially for the potato. Smaller portions will result in a lesser glucose impact. Consider cutting down the potato serving in favor of more non-starchy vegetables.
