How to consume Alcohol without glucose spikes

Choose Low-Sugar Alcohols

Opt for drinks with lower sugar content, such as dry wines, spirits like vodka or whiskey, and light beers. Avoid sweet wines, liquors, and cocktails with sugary mixers.

Pair with Protein

Consume protein-rich foods like grilled chicken, turkey, or fish alongside your alcoholic beverage. This can help slow down the absorption of alcohol and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or a small portion of cheese with your drink. These fats can help moderate the impact on your glucose levels.

Opt for Fiber-Rich Snacks

Snack on foods high in fiber, such as hummus with vegetables, lentil soup, or a small serving of quinoa salad. Fiber can slow the digestion of alcohol and reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after consuming alcohol. Staying hydrated helps your body process alcohol more efficiently and can mitigate glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grains

If having a meal with your drink, select whole-grain options like barley, oats, or whole-grain crackers. These can provide a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Have a Balanced Meal

Before drinking, eat a balanced meal that includes complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to help stabilize your glucose levels.

Limit Alcohol Intake

Reducing the amount of alcohol consumed can directly decrease the likelihood of experiencing a glucose spike.

Be Mindful of Portion Sizes

Monitor the portion sizes of both the alcohol and any accompanying snacks or meals to avoid excess intake that could elevate glucose levels.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, which can improve your body's ability to manage blood sugar levels effectively.
