How to consume Coffee | Lunch without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of foods that are known to cause spikes. Instead of having a large serving, opt for smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

Balanced Meals

Include a balance of macronutrients. Pair your lunch with proteins and healthy fats to slow down the absorption of glucose. For example, include a lean protein like chicken breast or tofu and healthy fats from avocados or nuts.

Complex Carbohydrates

Choose whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice over refined grains. These are digested more slowly and can help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like lentils, chickpeas, and vegetables. These can help slow down digestion and absorption of sugars.

Healthy Snack Options

If you consume coffee with lunch, consider swapping sugary or high-carb snacks with nuts, seeds, or a small piece of fruit like an apple or pear.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Sometimes, dehydration can exacerbate blood sugar fluctuations.

Slow-Release Carbs

Opt for lunch items that release energy slowly, such as sweet potatoes or whole-wheat pasta, which can help maintain energy levels and prevent spikes.

Caffeine Timing

If coffee is contributing to your glucose spike, consider having it after your meal rather than with it, or switch to a decaffeinated option to see if it makes a difference.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. This can help with digestion and reduce the likelihood of overeating, which can lead to spikes.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in regular exercise, such as a short walk after meals, to help your body use glucose more efficiently.
