How to consume Cheese Balls without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of cheese balls you consume in one sitting to help manage your glucose response.

Pair with Proteins

Include a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, alongside the cheese balls to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a few olives to your snack, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Eat with Vegetables

Pair cheese balls with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber sticks, bell pepper slices, or cherry tomatoes to add fiber and reduce the spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or a no-sugar-added herbal tea with your snack to aid digestion and maintain hydration, which can support stable blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

After consuming cheese balls, take a short walk or engage in light exercise to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, focusing on savoring each bite, which can help prevent overeating and manage glucose levels better.

Try Vinegar

Add a small amount of vinegar to a salad or as a dressing with your snack. Vinegar may help improve your body's insulin sensitivity.

Space Out Snacks

If you enjoy cheese balls frequently, consider spacing out your intake throughout the day to avoid significant glucose fluctuations.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body's response to cheese balls and adjust your approach as needed, possibly consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
