How to consume insulin 8 | lunch without glucose spikes

Incorporate High-Fiber Foods

Add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and kale to your lunch. These can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain options such as quinoa or barley instead of refined grains. These grains tend to digest more slowly, leading to a gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Include Lean Proteins

Add lean proteins like chicken breast, turkey, or tofu to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil. These fats can delay gastric emptying and reduce post-meal glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and prevent rapid increases in blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes, especially with carbohydrate-rich foods. Smaller portions can help minimize the impact on your blood sugar.

Include Legumes

Add beans or lentils to your lunch. They are a good source of protein and fiber, which can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Opt for Non-Sugary Beverages

Choose water, herbal teas, or black coffee instead of sugary drinks to avoid additional sugar intake.

Allow Time for Digestion

Consider taking a short walk after eating. Physical activity can help regulate blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake by muscles.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different foods affect your blood sugar and adjust your meals accordingly to minimize spikes.
