How to consume black tea, croissant without glucose spikes

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water alongside your meal to help your body manage the glucose spike more effectively.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a handful of almonds, alongside your croissant to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Fiber

Pair your meal with high-fiber foods like a small serving of berries or an apple to help slow digestion and glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If possible, opt for a whole grain or multigrain croissant instead of a regular one to reduce the glucose spike.

Mind Portion Sizes

Consider consuming a smaller portion of the croissant to lessen the impact on your blood glucose levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of healthy fats, such as avocado slices or a spoonful of nut butter, to further slow down digestion.

Walk After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Caffeine Intake

Limit the amount of black tea, as caffeine can sometimes affect blood sugar levels, and consider trying it in moderation.

Opt for Herbal Tea

Consider replacing black tea with a herbal tea that doesn’t contain caffeine, to reduce any potential impact on glucose levels.

Track What Works

Keep a record of how different combinations of foods affect your glucose levels to better understand and manage your responses.
