How to consume Fig without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume figs with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as almonds or Greek yogurt, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size by eating just a few figs instead of a larger quantity to minimize the spike.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or oats to your meal. They help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before eating figs to help dilute the sugars and slow their absorption.

Choose Fresh Over Dried

Opt for fresh figs rather than dried ones, as dried fruits generally contain concentrated sugars that can lead to higher spikes.

Eat Slowly

Chew your figs thoroughly and eat them slowly to give your body more time to process the sugars.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add vegetables like spinach or broccoli to your meal to balance sugar intake with additional nutrients.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming figs to help burn off excess sugar.

Monitor Timing

Consume figs as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to mitigate the glucose spike.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating figs to better understand how your body reacts and adjust accordingly.
