How to consume teriyaki salmon without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice as your side dish. These options are slower to digest and won't cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. These vegetables can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Combine with Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small amount of nuts. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of sugars, helping to maintain more stable blood sugar levels.

Mind the Sauce

Teriyaki sauce can be high in sugar. Consider using a homemade version with reduced sugar or a low-sugar store-bought option.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes for both the salmon and any high-carb sides. Smaller portions can help in managing glucose spikes.

Include Lean Protein

Besides the salmon, you can add a small portion of another lean protein, such as tofu or chicken breast, to further balance your meal.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated with water instead of sugary drinks, which can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Take a Walk

Engage in a light activity like a 10-15 minute walk after your meal. Physical activity can help in lowering post-meal blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Eating your meal slowly and savoring each bite can help you feel full sooner, reducing the likelihood of overeating and consequent glucose spikes.

Limit Carbohydrate Intake

Be cautious about your total carbohydrate intake during the meal. Consider reducing or eliminating other high-carb foods like bread or sugary desserts.
