How to consume Cucumber (With Peel) without glucose spikes
Combine with Protein
Pair cucumbers with a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or cottage cheese to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats, such as avocado slices, nuts, or seeds, to your cucumber dish. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber-rich foods like lentils, quinoa, or chickpeas to your meal to help moderate glucose absorption.
Incorporate Vinegar
Use a small amount of vinegar-based dressing or pickled cucumbers, as vinegar may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce spikes.
Practice Portion Control
Monitor and limit the quantity of cucumber consumed at one time to prevent a significant glucose spike.
Increase Non-Starchy Vegetables
Add more non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or bell peppers to your cucumber dishes to increase fiber content and slow digestion.
Drink Water with Meals
Drink water with your cucumber meal to help with digestion and control blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If consuming cucumbers as part of a meal, choose whole grains such as brown rice or barley instead of refined grains.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly to aid in digestion and reduce the speed at which glucose enters your bloodstream.
Monitor Your Body’s Response
