How to consume crab salad without glucose spikes

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale into your crab salad. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado or a small amount of olive oil to your salad. Healthy fats can help reduce the rate at which your body absorbs carbohydrates.

Use Whole Grains

If you add any grains to your salad, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley. These grains digest more slowly than refined grains.

Limit Sugary Dressings

Avoid dressings that are high in sugar. Opt for vinaigrettes made with vinegar and olive oil, or make your own with lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of the crab salad to minimize the overall amount of sugar entering your system at one time.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein such as boiled eggs, tofu, or chickpeas. Protein helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Chew Slowly

Eating more slowly can help give your body more time to process the carbohydrates and sugar, reducing the spike in blood glucose.

Hydrate with Water

Drink water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.

Incorporate Nuts and Seeds

Add a handful of nuts like almonds or seeds such as chia seeds to your salad. These add fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

Monitor Your Portions of Crab

Be mindful of the amount of crab you're consuming, as it can sometimes be paired with sugary marinades or sauces. Consider using fresh crab when possible.
