How to consume buckwheat pancakes without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of your buckwheat pancakes. Smaller portions can help moderate the body's reaction to the carbohydrates in the pancakes.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein with your meal, such as a serving of Greek yogurt, eggs, or a handful of nuts. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help manage blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, like avocado slices or a small serving of nut butter. Healthy fats can also slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods like berries or a side of roasted vegetables. Fiber slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain Buckwheat

Opt for pancakes made with whole grain buckwheat flour instead of refined varieties to increase fiber content.

Monitor Toppings

Be mindful of the toppings you use. Opt for fresh berries or a small amount of natural sweeteners like a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup instead of sugary syrups or processed toppings.

Eat Mindfully

Chew slowly and take your time to eat, which can help you feel full longer and prevent overeating.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity like a walk after eating to help your body use the glucose more efficiently and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust your dietary habits accordingly.
