Pears (1 Pear, Medium (Approx 2 1/2 Per Lb)) and Almonds (1 Almond)

Reduce the pear portion: try half a small pear at a time, especially if you notice a repeatable rise after a whole pear.

Keep almonds to a measured serving, such as a small handful, rather than eating freely from a large bag.

Eat pears after or alongside a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Pair pear with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or an egg to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Choose firmer, less-ripe pears when possible, as very ripe fruit may raise glucose more quickly.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating almonds and pears, if appropriate for you.
