How to consume oat meal with cherries without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your oatmeal and cherries to decrease the overall carbohydrate load.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds (like almonds or chia seeds) to your meal to slow down digestion and prevent spikes in glucose levels.

Fiber Boost

Incorporate additional fiber by mixing in flaxseeds or psyllium husk with your oatmeal, which can help maintain more stable blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of healthy fats, such as a spoonful of nut butter or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, to help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.

Cinnamon Topping

Sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal, as it may help enhance insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.

Timing Adjustment

Consume your oatmeal after a balanced meal containing protein and healthy fats rather than on an empty stomach, to slow glucose absorption.

Hydration

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal to assist in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Chill Your Oatmeal

Prepare your oatmeal in advance and allow it to cool before eating, as this can increase the resistant starch content, potentially reducing the impact on blood sugar.

Use Less Sugary Fruits

Replace cherries with fruits like blueberries or blackberries to lower the sugar content of your meal.

Chew Thoroughly

Take time to chew each bite thoroughly, aiding in digestion and slowing down the carbohydrate absorption process.
