How to consume bread with jam without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Multigrain Bread

Opt for bread that is whole grain or multigrain, as these options typically have more fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the amount of bread and jam you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions mean less sugar intake at once.

Add Protein or Healthy Fats

Pair your bread with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a slice of turkey, avocado, or a small amount of cheese, to help slow digestion and the release of glucose.

Use Nut Butter Instead of Jam

Replace jam with a natural nut butter, such as almond or peanut butter, to add healthy fats and protein, which can help moderate spikes.

Incorporate Fiber-rich Foods

Add a side of fruits like apples or berries that are high in fiber to your meal, which can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before or with your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Pay attention to your eating pace, savor each bite, and enjoy your meal without rushing, which can aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Exercise After Eating

A short walk or light exercise after your meal can help your muscles use glucose more efficiently.

Consider Alternative Spreads

Use spreads like hummus or cottage cheese instead of jam, which are more balanced in terms of macronutrient content.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of how different foods and combinations affect your blood sugar, and adjust your choices accordingly.
