Animal proteins like chicken contain very few carbohydrates so they do not contribute to increased blood sugar levels. The protein in chicken also creates a feeling of fullness for a long time, supporting the weight loss process. When you feel full for a long time, your body will not crave snacks or foods high in sugar, thereby minimizing the possibility of blood sugar spikes.
Eating chicken can help regulate blood sugar levels, as it is a low glycemic food. This means that the carbohydrates in chicken are digested and absorbed slowly, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable.
How to eat chicken for breakfast without increasing blood sugar
To avoid high blood sugar, diabetics should only eat chicken breast. A suitable breakfast is stewed chicken breast or chicken breast salad.
The right way to boil chicken breast is as follows: Put the chicken breast in a pot, fill it with water, cover it and boil. Be careful not to taste the spices, just add a little salt. Heat on high heat until the chicken broth boils, then reduce the heat and continue boiling for about 15 minutes.
Diabetics can also have grilled chicken for breakfast. Brush the chicken breast with olive oil, then season to taste. Then put the chicken in the oven at 400 degrees Celsius and gradually reduce the temperature to 165 degrees. Maintain for about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
When grilling chicken for diabetics, do not use too much salt or salty soup. When eating, add side dishes such as vegetables, beans, fruits, etc.
