How to consume Protein without glucose spikes

Pair Protein with Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate foods like lentils, beans, and vegetables such as broccoli or Brussels sprouts alongside your protein to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Choose Whole Grains for Carbohydrate Sources

When consuming carbs with your protein, opt for whole grains such as quinoa, barley, or oats, known for their slower digestion and moderation of glucose spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These can help slow the digestion process and lessen the impact of a glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can assist in maintaining stable glucose levels.

Opt for Vegetables as Sides

Include leafy greens like kale or spinach, and other low-carb vegetables such as zucchini or cauliflower in your meal to support a steady glucose response.

Mind Your Portions

Pay close attention to portion sizes of protein and carbohydrates. Eating in moderation can help manage glucose levels more effectively.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take time to savor your food and chew thoroughly to aid in better digestion and reduce the likelihood of a rapid glucose increase.

Incorporate Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Use vinegar-based dressings or a squeeze of lemon juice on your meals. These can help moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Monitor and Adjust Meal Timing

Avoid eating large meals late at night. Try to consume small, balanced meals throughout the day.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activities such as walking after meals to help your body regulate glucose levels more effectively.
