Dried Figs (Uncooked) (1 Fig)

Reduce the portion to 1–2 dried figs and avoid eating them on an empty stomach.

Pair dried figs with a small handful of almonds or walnuts to slow absorption.

Have the figs after a balanced meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables, rather than as a standalone snack.

Choose plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or cottage cheese alongside the figs for additional protein.

Add chia seeds or ground flaxseed to yogurt and eat the figs with it for extra soluble fiber.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help moderate the rise.
