How to consume Baked Beans, White Bread without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Replace white bread with whole grain or whole wheat bread, which digests more slowly and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Control Portion Size

Limit your intake of baked beans and bread to smaller portions to reduce the overall impact on blood sugar.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein, such as grilled chicken, eggs, or tofu, and healthy fats like avocado or nuts with your meal to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, or broccoli, which can help moderate the blood sugar response.

Opt for Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Use vinegar-based dressings or squeeze lemon juice on your meal, as the acidity can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly and enjoy your meal, allowing your body to properly digest and metabolize the carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Go for a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help your muscles use the glucose more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals and adjust your food choices and portion sizes accordingly to find what works best for you.
