How to consume turkish chickpea salad without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chickpea salad to limit the intake of carbohydrates in one sitting.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to help balance blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vegetable Boost

Mix in non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or cucumbers to add fiber and further reduce the salad's impact on blood sugar.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a dressing with vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take time to chew your food thoroughly and enjoy your meal, which can help regulate digestion and absorption rates.

Fiber Addition

Add more fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds to the salad to slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Combine with Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.

Consistent Meal Timing

Maintain regular meal times to help your body manage blood sugar levels more efficiently.

Hydrate Properly

Drink water throughout the day and with your meal to aid digestion and prevent dehydration, which can affect blood sugar control.
