How to consume Turkish breakfast without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion sizes of high-carbohydrate foods typically found in a Turkish breakfast, such as bread and pastries. Opt for smaller servings to help manage blood sugar levels.

Include Protein

Incorporate protein-rich foods like eggs or Greek yogurt into your breakfast. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates, preventing rapid spikes in glucose.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like olives, avocado, or a small amount of nuts. These can help to slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're including bread, select whole grain or rye options. These are digested more slowly than refined grains, providing a more gradual release of glucose.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as fresh vegetables, like cucumbers and tomatoes, or a small portion of fruits like berries. Fiber can slow the digestion of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing and Composition

Consider the timing and composition of your breakfast. Spreading out your meal or combining it with other low-carb options can mitigate spikes.

Avoid Sugary Additions

Limit foods with added sugars, such as jams or sweetened teas. Opt for natural sweeteners like a small amount of fresh fruit if needed.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully. Giving your body time to register fullness can prevent overeating and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Regular Activity

Engage in a light physical activity after breakfast, like a short walk. Exercise can help increase insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar spikes.
