How to consume croissant, english flat white without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein such as a boiled egg or a small portion of cottage cheese to your meal. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing the spike in blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole-Grain Options

If possible, opt for a whole-grain or multigrain croissant which contains more fiber and can help to moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate a side of vegetables such as a small salad with leafy greens or a serving of berries like raspberries or strawberries. Fiber can help to slow down the digestion process and prevent sharp spikes in blood sugar.

Drink Water

Drink a full glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated aids in better digestion and can help dilute the sugars in your bloodstream, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Control Portion Size

Instead of consuming a full croissant, consider eating half and pairing it with other recommended foods. Smaller portions can help to limit the amount of carbohydrates and sugar entering your system at once.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, with your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk after eating. Light physical activity can help your body to use glucose more efficiently and mitigate a spike in blood sugar levels.

Limit Additional Sugar

Request your flat white with no added sugar or minimum sweeteners. If you need it sweetened, consider using a natural sweetener like stevia which has a minimal impact on blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and savor your food. Eating slowly gives your body more time to process and manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating to understand how different foods affect you personally, and make adjustments to your diet based on this data.
