How to consume Americano Coffee, Chocolate Croissant without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein like a boiled egg or a small portion of Greek yogurt to your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and reduce spikes in glucose levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for a whole grain or multigrain croissant alternative. Whole grains tend to have a more gradual impact on blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as a handful of almonds or a scoop of nut butter on the side. Healthy fats can help moderate the body's glycemic response.
Drink Water First
Before consuming your Americano, drink a glass of water. Staying hydrated can improve your body's ability to manage glucose levels.
Limit Added Sugar
When ordering your Americano, request no added sugar or syrups. If needed, use a natural sweetener with minimal impact on blood sugar.
Walk After Eating
Consider taking a short walk after consuming your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity.
Practice Portion Control
Opt for a smaller size of the chocolate croissant or share it with someone else to reduce the amount of sugar and refined carbs consumed at once.
Monitor Timing
Consume your coffee and croissant as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach. This can help manage the rise in blood sugar levels more effectively.
Consume Fiber-Rich Foods
Include a fiber-rich food in your meal, such as a small apple or a pear. Fiber can delay the absorption of sugars and help maintain more stable blood sugar levels.
Regular Check-Ins
Monitor your blood sugar levels after eating to understand how your body responds and adjust your habits accordingly.
