How to consume Grilled Chicken, Quinoa without glucose spikes

Add More Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli alongside your meal. These vegetables can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of quinoa and grilled chicken. Eating smaller portions can prevent a large spike in glucose levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, substitute quinoa with another whole grain that has a similar nutrient profile but might be more gentle on glucose levels, such as barley or farro.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal as hydration can aid digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Protein

Add a small portion of plant-based protein such as lentils or chickpeas to your meal to balance carbohydrate intake.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can help regulate digestion and glucose release into the bloodstream.

Exercise After Eating

A short walk or light activity after meals can help enhance insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.

Include a Fiber-Rich Starter

Start your meal with a small salad or a bowl of lentil soup. Fiber-rich starters can buffer the impact of carbohydrates later in the meal.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to maintain regular meal times and avoid eating large meals late at night to stabilize glucose levels.
