How to consume Fig without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats, such as nuts, seeds, or yogurt, with your figs to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Consume a smaller serving of figs to reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Fresh Over Dried

If possible, eat fresh figs instead of dried ones, as they contain more water and fewer concentrated sugars.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine figs with fiber-rich foods like chia seeds, oats, or legumes to help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating figs to aid in digestion and sugar metabolism.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming figs to help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time eating figs to allow your body to process and respond to the sugar intake gradually.

Balance with Low-Sugar Fruits

Mix figs with fruits like berries, apples, or pears to cut down on overall sugar consumption while still enjoying a variety of flavors.

Monitor Timing

Have figs as part of a meal rather than a standalone snack to benefit from the combined effects of other foods on blood sugar levels.

Experiment with Substitutes

Occasionally replace figs with fruits like plums, oranges, or cherries, which can offer a similar sweetness with a gentler impact on blood glucose.
