How to consume Quinoa (Cooked), Salmon without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of quinoa in your meal to decrease the overall glucose load.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal to increase fiber intake, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil, to slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Eat Protein First

Start your meal with the salmon to slow the digestion of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to help with digestion and improve nutrient absorption.

Monitor Meal Timing

Space out your meals and avoid eating large quantities in a short period to allow your body to better manage blood sugar levels.

Consider Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar to your quinoa salad, as vinegar has been shown to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, such as a short walk after meals, to help your body manage blood sugar more effectively.

Use Alternative Grains

Occasionally substitute quinoa with lower-carbohydrate grains like barley or amaranth, if well-tolerated, as part of a varied diet.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and paying attention to hunger and fullness cues to prevent overeating.
