How to consume cheese and bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of both cheese and bread to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat bread instead of white bread. These options are less likely to cause a significant spike in blood sugar.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, bell peppers) to your meal. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats, such as avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal. These can help slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, like grilled chicken or turkey slices, to balance out the carbohydrates and reduce the spike.

Monitor Bread Type

Try using breads made with seeds or nuts, which tend to have less impact on blood sugar compared to standard bread.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal. Eating slowly can aid in digestion and reduce the likelihood of a rapid glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before meals, to help regulate your blood sugar levels.

Pre-meal Exercise

Engage in light exercise, such as a short walk, before eating. Physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Cheese Selection

Choose aged cheeses like cheddar or gouda, which may have a lesser impact on blood sugar compared to processed cheese products.
