How to consume Sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or multi-grain bread instead of white bread. These types of bread typically digest more slowly.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein in your sandwich, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or plant-based options like hummus or tofu.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of olive oil-based spread to your sandwich to slow digestion.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add plenty of fiber-rich vegetables, such as leafy greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, or bell peppers, to your sandwich for additional fiber and nutrients.

Limit Sugary Condiments

Use mustard, pesto, or hummus instead of sugary condiments like ketchup or barbecue sauce.

Eat in Moderation

Control portion sizes by keeping your sandwich to a manageable size or opting for open-faced sandwiches to reduce bread consumption.

Drink Water

Accompany your meal with water rather than sugary drinks, which can contribute to a higher spike.

Integrate a Balanced Diet

Pair your sandwich with a side salad or a small serving of mixed vegetables to provide more balance to your meal.

Chew Slowly and Enjoy

Eating slowly can help your body process the food more efficiently, leading to a gradual rise in blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Try to avoid having your sandwich as your first meal of the day without prior food intake, as eating on an empty stomach can sometimes lead to a more significant spike.
