How to consume Coffee With Milk And Sugar, Upma without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of sugar in your coffee and consider using less milk. A smaller serving size can help moderate glucose spikes.

Switch to Whole Grains

Prepare your upma using whole grain semolina or consider alternative grains like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein like a boiled egg or a handful of nuts alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado slices or a spoonful of chia seeds to your meal to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Try Natural Sweeteners

Use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit in your coffee instead of regular sugar to reduce sugar intake.

Increase Fiber

Add fiber-rich vegetables to your upma such as peas, carrots, or spinach, which can slow down glucose absorption.

Opt for Lactose-Free Milk

Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk in your coffee, as they generally contain fewer carbohydrates than regular milk.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help control appetite and potentially reduce the amount of carbohydrates you consume.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to enjoy your meal, as eating slowly can help improve digestion and control blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider consuming your coffee and upma separately rather than at the same time to avoid a simultaneous spike in carbohydrates.
