Tips for Success & Diabetes Prevention
To keep this meal "metabolically friendly":
- The Wrap Matters: Use sprouted-grain or high-fibre wraps. These have a lower glycemic index, meaning they won't cause a rapid insulin spike.
- Healthy Satiety: The monounsaturated fats in avocado slow down digestion, which helps keep your blood sugar stable for hours.
- Lean Protein: Turkey provides the amino acids needed for muscle maintenance without the saturated fats found in red meats.
- Add "Crunch" for Fibre: Loading up on non-starchy vegetables (like peppers or spinach) increases fibre, further protecting against glucose surges.
