How to consume Coffee with Milk, Fruitcake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of fruitcake you consume. Smaller portions can help manage the body's insulin response and minimize spikes.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a boiled egg, with your coffee and fruitcake to help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Choose Low-Sugar Alternatives

Opt for a fruitcake made with less sugar or alternative sweeteners. Look for recipes or brands that focus on lower sugar content.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a source of fiber to your meal. Consider eating a small apple or a few berries on the side, as fiber can help slow sugar absorption.

Drink Black Coffee

Consider drinking your coffee black or with minimal milk. The added lactose from milk can contribute to glucose spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help your body use the glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your coffee and fruitcake. This can help with digestion and modulate glucose absorption.

Monitor Timing

Have your coffee and fruitcake as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help mitigate glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair your meal with a small portion of avocado or a few walnuts to slow down digestion and sugar absorption.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food to give your body time to process the glucose more steadily.
