How to consume Gin And Tonic without glucose spikes

Limit Intake

Reduce the amount of gin and tonic you consume at one time to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Tonic Water

Opt for tonic water that is labeled as "diet" or "low-calorie" as these typically contain less sugar, which can help prevent a spike.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your drink with foods high in fiber such as lentils, beans, or chickpeas. These can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Incorporate Protein

Before or while having your drink, consume a portion of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a handful of nuts. Protein slows down the digestion process.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming gin and tonic to help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Engage in Physical Activity

A short walk or some light exercise after drinking can help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Add a Lemon or Lime Twist

Enhance your drink with a slice of lemon or lime instead of sugary mixers. This adds flavor without adding extra sugar.

Monitor Your Portion Sizes

Use a jigger to measure your gin and tonic serving sizes to ensure you are not consuming more than intended.

Time Your Drinking Wisely

Avoid having your gin and tonic on an empty stomach. Eat something beforehand to help cushion the sugar impact.

Include Healthy Fats

Having a small serving of healthy fats such as avocado or a few olives with your drink can also aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.
