How to consume Cheese and crackers without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of cheese and crackers. Try to consume smaller amounts to minimize the potential impact on blood sugar levels.

Whole-Grain Crackers

Opt for whole-grain crackers instead of refined ones. Whole grains are digested more slowly, which can help keep blood sugar levels stable.

Add Protein

Pair your cheese and crackers with a source of lean protein like turkey slices or a handful of almonds, which can help slow down the digestion process.

Include Healthy Fats

Add some healthy fats like avocado or a few olives to your snack. These can help modulate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.

Choose Low-Carb Cheese

Select cheeses that are lower in carbohydrates, such as cheddar or Swiss, which can have a lesser impact on blood sugar.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate high-fiber foods like vegetables or a small side salad with your snack. Fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your snack to aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Timing of Consumption

Try to have cheese and crackers as part of a larger meal rather than on their own, as the extra food can help buffer the rise in glucose.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming cheese and crackers. This can help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different portions and combinations, and adjust accordingly to find the best balance for your metabolism.
