Avocado (1 Avocado, Ns As To Florida Or California)

Keep the avocado portion modest, such as 1/4 to 1/2 of a medium avocado, and compare your glucose response at each portion size.

Eat avocado as part of a balanced meal with protein, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, tofu, chicken, fish, or lentils, rather than by itself.

Pair avocado with high-fiber, lower-carbohydrate vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, zucchini, or tomatoes.

Avoid combining avocado with refined or rapidly absorbed carbohydrates, including white bread, chips, crackers, sweetened sauces, or sugary drinks.

Try eating the protein and non-starchy vegetables first, then avocado and any starch later in the meal.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating and track whether the timing, portion, and meal combination change your glucose response.
