How to consume Pastrami Sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat bread instead of white bread for your sandwich. Whole grains release glucose more slowly into the bloodstream.

Add Leafy Greens

Incorporate leafy greens like spinach or arugula into your sandwich. These are low in sugar and add fiber, which helps moderate glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado or a small amount of olive oil-based dressing to your sandwich. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Protein

Include a protein source such as grilled chicken or turkey along with pastrami to balance the meal and slow digestion.

Pair with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Accompany your meal with a side of non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, or a small salad to add volume and nutrients without rapid spikes in glucose.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Tea

Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water or unsweetened tea to prevent additional sugar intake.

Portion Control

Consider eating a smaller portion of the sandwich and balance it with additional low-carb foods to manage overall carbohydrate intake.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time eating to allow your body to signal when it's full, which can help in avoiding overeating.

Walk After Eating

A short walk after your meal can help your body use up glucose more effectively, reducing spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to identify how different foods affect you and adjust your diet accordingly.
