How to consume espresso coffee, tonic water without glucose spikes

Add Fiber

Incorporate a small portion of foods rich in fiber, such as chia seeds or a handful of almonds, before or with your drink. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Protein Pairing

Consume a protein-rich snack like a boiled egg or Greek yogurt alongside your drink to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before and after your espresso tonic to help dilute the sugars and aid digestion.

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of tonic water used. Consider using a splash of tonic instead of a full serving to cut down on sugar intake.

Alternative Sweeteners

If you like your coffee sweet, try using a natural low-calorie sweetener like stevia, which won't impact sugar levels as much as sugar does.

Timing

Consume your espresso tonic as part of a larger meal rather than on an empty stomach to help buffer the sugar absorption.

Physical Activity

Follow up your drink with a short walk or some light physical activity to help your muscles use the glucose more effectively.

Cinnamon Addition

Sprinkle some cinnamon into your coffee. Cinnamon is known to help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Stress Management

Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or a brief meditation session, as stress can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different modifications affect your glucose levels and adjust your approach accordingly to find what works best for you.
