How to consume cookie, sandwich without glucose spikes

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Include foods high in fiber such as vegetables (like broccoli, spinach, and carrots) in your meal. They help slow down digestion and prevent spikes in glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate lean proteins like chicken, turkey, tofu, or fish to your meal. Protein takes longer to digest, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, or olive oil to your diet. These fats slow the absorption of carbs, which helps in maintaining steady glucose levels.

Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of high-carb foods like cookies and sandwiches. Eating less can significantly reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Whole Grains

If you’re eating a sandwich, opt for whole-grain bread instead of white. Whole grains are absorbed more slowly by the body.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small snack that includes fiber, protein, or healthy fat before consuming high-carb foods. Examples include a handful of almonds, a small apple with peanut butter, or Greek yogurt.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water. Proper hydration helps your kidneys flush out excess blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as walking after your meal. Physical activity helps your muscles use glucose for energy, lowering blood sugar levels.

Pair with Vegetables

Pair your cookie or sandwich with a side of non-starchy vegetables like a salad or steamed veggies to balance out the carb intake.

Monitor and Adjust

Use a glucose monitor to track how different foods affect your blood sugar and adjust your diet accordingly to avoid future spikes.
