How to consume Custard without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of custard you consume. This can help minimize the rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
Add Fiber
Incorporate high-fiber foods with your custard. Foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small handful of nuts can help slow the absorption of sugar.
Protein Pairing
Pair your custard with a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a small portion of lean chicken breast, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If you’re having custard as part of a larger meal, include whole grains like quinoa or barley, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Use Cinnamon
Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to your custard, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating custard to help improve your body’s glucose metabolism.
Hydration
Drink a glass of water before or with your custard to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Mindful Eating
Eat your custard slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to respond to the sugar intake, potentially reducing spikes.
Substitute Ingredients
If making custard at home, consider using almond milk or coconut milk as substitutes for regular milk, as they may have a lesser impact on blood sugar levels.
Monitor Timing
Consume custard as part of a larger meal rather than on its own, as this can help moderate any potential spikes in blood sugar.
