How to consume oat meal with cherries without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consume smaller portions of oatmeal and cherries to help manage glucose spikes.

Protein Addition

Enhance your meal by adding a source of protein such as a scoop of Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Fiber Boost

Include additional high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or ground flaxseeds in your oatmeal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a spoonful of natural peanut butter or a few slices of avocado to your oatmeal, which can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Cinnamon Sprinkle

Consider adding a dash of cinnamon to your oatmeal. Cinnamon may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water with your meal to aid digestion and reduce the concentration of sugars.

Timing Adjustments

Consume oatmeal as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own, or integrate it into a mixed plate that includes vegetables or lean proteins, which may help moderate the body's glycemic response.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light exercise, such as a short walk, before eating to enhance insulin sensitivity.

Slow Cooking

Opt for steel-cut oats instead of instant or quick oats, as they have a slower digestion rate, leading to a more gradual increase in glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates and manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
