How to consume avocados, beets, black olives, carrots, cooked lentils, extra virgin olive oil, lettuce, mushrooms, quinoa, sauerkraut (low sodium, canned), sweet potato (without skin, cooked, boiled) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion sizes of the foods that cause a rise in glucose, especially those with higher carbohydrate content like cooked lentils, quinoa, and sweet potatoes. This helps in minimizing the glucose load.

Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats

Combine these foods with protein sources like chicken, fish, or tofu, and healthy fats like nuts or seeds to slow down digestion and reduce the glucose spike.

Incorporate More Fiber

Add high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, and vegetables such as broccoli or spinach to your meals. Fiber helps in slowing the absorption of sugars.

Choose Low-Carbohydrate Alternatives

Instead of quinoa, consider using cauliflower rice, which is lower in carbohydrates and can provide a similar texture.

Include Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to meals can help in moderating blood sugar levels post-meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout the day, especially before meals, to aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Opt for Raw or Lightly Cooked Vegetables

Eating vegetables like carrots and beets raw or lightly cooked can reduce the impact on blood sugar compared to when they are cooked thoroughly.

Eat Slowly and Chew Thoroughly

Taking the time to eat slowly and thoroughly chew your food can improve digestion and help in managing blood sugar levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in regular physical activity, such as a brisk walk after meals, to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Responses

Keep track of how your body responds to these foods and adjust your intake or combinations accordingly. Personal variations can occur, so monitoring is key.
