How to consume Light lunch without glucose spikes

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add foods like lentils, beans, and vegetables such as broccoli and carrots to your lunch. These can slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of nuts, seeds, or avocados. These help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole grain options like quinoa, barley, or brown rice instead of refined grains. These are broken down more slowly by the body.

Add Protein Sources

Include lean proteins such as chicken, tofu, or fish. Protein can help to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before, during, and after your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Control Portion Sizes

Keep portion sizes moderate to avoid overloading on carbohydrates that could lead to spikes.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

This practice helps with digestion and allows your body to process glucose more efficiently.

Avoid Sugary Beverages

Replace sugary drinks with water, herbal teas, or unsweetened beverages during lunch.

Include Leafy Greens

Add a side salad with greens like spinach or kale, which can help moderate glucose absorption.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Keep an eye on the total amount of carbohydrates consumed in a meal and try to distribute them evenly throughout the day.
