How to consume on plant protein without glucose spikes
Choose Low-Carb Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini into your meals, as they generally have a minimal impact on glucose levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add sources of healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil to your meals. These fats can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Pair with Whole Grains
Opt for whole grains like quinoa, barley, and bulgur that are known for their slower digestion and absorption, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.
Eat Fiber-Rich Foods
Increase your intake of fiber-rich foods like lentils, beans, and chickpeas. Fiber can help slow the absorption of sugars and improve overall blood sugar control.
Incorporate Protein Variety
Alongside plant proteins, consider including eggs or dairy products like yogurt and cheese, which can provide additional protein and help balance blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration helps maintain overall health and can support better blood sugar regulation.
Practice Portion Control
Be mindful of portion sizes, especially with higher-carb plant proteins like legumes, to avoid large glucose spikes.
Add Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Use vinegar or lemon juice in dressings or marinades. These acidic components can help lower blood sugar spikes after meals.
Opt for Whole Fruits
Choose whole fruits like apples, berries, and pears instead of fruit juices or dried fruits, which can have a more pronounced effect on blood sugar.
Space Out Protein Intake
Instead of consuming all your plant protein in one meal, spread it across the day to avoid overwhelming your system and causing spikes.
