How to consume cucumber (with peel), watermelon without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a protein source like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts when consuming cucumber and watermelon. This can slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a few slices of cheese. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine with fiber-rich foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of whole grains like quinoa or barley. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Watch Portion Sizes

Monitor the portion sizes of cucumber and watermelon to keep sugar intake within a manageable range.

Stay Hydrated

Ensure you drink plenty of water, which can help your body process the sugar more efficiently.

Add Vinegar

Consider a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal, as acidic foods can reduce the blood sugar impact of carbohydrates.

Exercise

Engage in light exercise like a brisk walk after meals, which can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Chew food thoroughly and eat slowly to aid digestion and enhance satiety, potentially reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different combinations affect you personally.

Plan Meal Timing

Eat your fruits as part of a larger meal rather than on their own to lessen the impact on blood sugar levels.
