How to consume black tea, rusk toast without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Multigrain Rusks

Opt for whole grain or multigrain rusks instead of traditional white ones. They digest slower and help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like a boiled egg or a handful of nuts alongside your tea and rusk toast. Protein helps slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Consider adding a small amount of healthy fat, like a slice of avocado or a smear of almond butter on your rusk, to help stabilize blood sugar.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a serving of fiber-rich foods, such as a small salad or some berries, to your meal. Fiber can help slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Limit Sweeteners

If you add sweeteners to your tea, consider reducing the amount or using a natural sugar substitute that doesn’t impact blood sugar as much.

Drink Tea Plain

Avoid adding sugar or honey to your black tea. Enjoy it plain or with a splash of unsweetened almond milk or a similar low-carb milk alternative.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before or after your meal. Staying well-hydrated can help your body manage sugar spikes more effectively.

Control Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of both your rusk toast and tea. Smaller portions can help in reducing the likelihood of a large spike.

Eat Mindfully

Take your time to eat slowly and savor your food, which can improve digestion and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body’s response to different foods and adjust your diet accordingly. Consistently monitoring how your blood sugar responds can help you make better food choices in the future.
