Butter (Amul) (1 Serving)

Check the full meal rather than butter alone: butter contains almost no carbohydrate, so the rise is often driven by bread, pastries, potatoes, rice, or sweet spreads eaten with it.

Use a smaller measured portion of butter, such as 1–2 teaspoons, and avoid repeatedly adding more during the meal.

Replace buttered refined bread or pastries with a lower-carbohydrate base such as eggs, avocado, non-starchy vegetables, or a small portion of lentils.

If having butter with a starch, pair it with protein and fiber—for example, eggs with vegetables or plain Greek yogurt with berries—to slow the meal’s glucose impact.

Avoid sweet butter pairings such as jam, honey, sweetened nut spreads, and flavored coffee drinks; choose unsweetened toppings like cinnamon, nuts, or avocado instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, and monitor your response to identify the portion and accompanying foods that cause the rise.
