How to consume Almonds, Medjool Dates without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of almonds and Medjool dates you consume in one sitting to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Pair almonds and Medjool dates with a protein source such as Greek yogurt or a boiled egg. This can help slow down the digestion and absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of olive oil to your meal. These can help in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or a small apple. Fiber can aid in slowing down the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea before your meal to help regulate your appetite and prevent overeating, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Consider the timing of when you eat almonds and dates. Consuming them as part of a balanced snack during the day can be more beneficial than eating them close to bedtime.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to how you eat by chewing slowly and savoring each bite. This can aid in digestion and prevent overeating.

Substitute Ingredients

Occasionally swap Medjool dates with lower-sugar dried fruits like apricots, which can still satisfy your sweet craving with a lesser impact on blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming almonds and dates to understand how they affect you and make adjustments accordingly.
