How to consume weetabix and tea without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of Weetabix. Instead of two biscuits, try using one, and monitor how this affects your glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein with your breakfast, such as a boiled egg or a small serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small handful of nuts or a tablespoon of seeds, like chia or flaxseeds, to your Weetabix. Healthy fats can contribute to a slower digestion process and a more stable release of glucose.

Choose Fiber-Rich Additions

Top your Weetabix with fiber-rich fruits such as berries or sliced apples. These options can moderate the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.

Switch to Whole Grain Alternatives

Consider replacing Weetabix with a whole grain cereal option that is known to have a milder effect on blood sugar levels. Ensure it's low in sugar and high in fiber.

Try Herbal or Green Tea

Opt for herbal or green tea instead of regular tea, especially if you add sugar or milk to your tea. Herbal teas often do not require sugar and can have additional health benefits.

Limit Sweeteners

If you add sugar or sweeteners to your tea, try to gradually reduce the amount until you can enjoy it unsweetened or use natural sweeteners like stevia sparingly.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Eat your breakfast at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals. Keeping a consistent eating schedule can help manage blood sugar spikes.

Physical Activity

Incorporate some light physical activity, such as a short walk, after breakfast. Exercise can help reduce blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
