How to consume Cheese Croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg or a handful of almonds, to slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates from the croissant.

Include Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like a small side salad or a serving of vegetables to help moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before or with your meal. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Consider eating only half of the cheese croissant and save the rest for later to minimize the glucose spike.

Physical Activity

Take a short walk or engage in light exercise after eating to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Timing of Meal

Try to eat your croissant in the context of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, to mitigate the spike in glucose.

Choose Whole Grains

When possible, opt for a whole grain or multigrain version of the croissant to improve its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Consider checking your glucose levels before and after eating to understand how your body responds and adjust your approach accordingly.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as a few slices of avocado to your meal to slow digestion and absorption.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, as this can help in better digestion and absorption of nutrients, thus reducing rapid glucose spikes.
