How to consume Medjool Dates, Walnuts without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of Medjool dates and walnuts you consume at one time. Try eating just one or two dates with a small handful of walnuts to keep the intake in check.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as a hard-boiled egg or a small serving of Greek yogurt, to help moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate foods high in fiber, such as chia seeds or flaxseeds, which can slow carbohydrate absorption and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Consume with Vegetables

Pair your dates and walnuts with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper slices to add volume and fiber to your snack.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your snack to help manage digestion and metabolism.

Monitor Timing

Eat your dates and walnuts as part of a meal rather than on their own to benefit from the other food components slowing down glucose absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a few almonds, which can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite slowly to give your body time to process and respond to the intake without overwhelming your glucose levels.

Physical Activity

Consider going for a short walk after eating dates and walnuts to help your muscles use up some of the sugar and reduce the spike.

Monitor Response

Keep track of your body's response to consuming these foods by checking your blood sugar levels, if possible, to understand how different combinations and amounts affect you personally.
