How to consume Cottage Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of cottage cheese you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions may lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Pair with Fiber

Add high-fiber foods like berries, oats, or chia seeds to your cottage cheese. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grain Crackers

If you like eating cottage cheese with crackers, choose whole grain options, which have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Mix in healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado or a handful of walnuts. These fats can help moderate the glucose response.

Choose Fresh Vegetables

Pair cottage cheese with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, or cherry tomatoes to add volume and nutrients without spiking glucose levels.

Consume Protein-Rich Foods

Add lean proteins such as chicken breast or turkey slices alongside your cottage cheese to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before or with your cottage cheese to help with digestion and glucose management.

Mind Your Timing

Eat cottage cheese as part of a larger balanced meal rather than alone, which can help prevent sudden spikes.

Increase Physical Activity

Incorporate light exercise or a short walk after meals to assist in managing blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body responds to cottage cheese by checking your glucose levels after consumption and adjust your approach accordingly.
