How to consume french nicoise salad without glucose spikes
Incorporate More Fiber
Add additional fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli or spinach to your salad. Fiber can slow down the absorption of sugar in your bloodstream.
Add a Protein Source
Include grilled chicken or tofu to your salad. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce spikes.
Choose a Low-Sugar Dressing
Opt for olive oil and vinegar as your dressing instead of creamy or sugary dressings. This can help prevent unnecessary sugar intake.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can slow digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Portion Control
Pay attention to the portion size of higher-carb ingredients such as potatoes. Eating smaller portions can help manage your glucose levels.
Add Legumes
Include a portion of legumes like chickpeas or lentils, which can help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated with Water
Drink water alongside your meal, as staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help manage glucose levels.
Add Vinegar
A splash of vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels due to its potential impact on insulin sensitivity.
Mind the Timing
Avoid eating your salad on an empty stomach. Consider starting your meal with a small portion of protein or healthy fats to buffer the impact.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of how different ingredients affect your blood sugar and adjust your salad components accordingly.
