How to consume Nandos chicken without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of Nando's chicken to decrease the carbohydrate load on your system, which can help in minimizing spikes in glucose levels.
Pair with Vegetables
Complement your meal with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or kale. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a side of avocado or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If you’re having a side dish, opt for whole grain options like brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice or fries, as they are digested more slowly.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help regulate glucose levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat, which can help your body process the food more effectively and may reduce the size of glucose spikes.
Opt for Grilled Options
Choose grilled chicken over fried versions to reduce the intake of unhealthy fats and sugars.
Incorporate Protein
Add a side of beans or lentils, as their protein content can help balance blood sugar levels.
Avoid Sugary Sauces
Request your chicken to be served without sugary marinades or sauces, or choose options with less sugar.
Physical Activity
Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after eating to help your muscles use glucose more effectively.
Monitor Carbohydrate Intake
Keep track of the amount of carbohydrates consumed during the meal to stay within a range that your body can manage more easily.
