How to consume iftar without glucose spikes

Start with Hydration

Begin your iftar with a glass of water or unsweetened herbal tea to rehydrate your body and prepare your digestive system.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Opt for foods like whole grains (e.g., brown rice, quinoa), legumes (e.g., lentils, chickpeas), and vegetables to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Lean Proteins

Incorporate sources like grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or beans to slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Healthy Fats

Add small portions of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive oil to your meal to aid in satiety and blood sugar control.

Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables

Incorporate vegetables like leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers to your meal for added nutrients and slower digestion.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Select fruits like berries, cherries, and apples for dessert as they have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Avoid Sugary Drinks and Desserts

Skip soft drinks, fruit juices, and sweets. Instead, opt for water or unsweetened beverages and save dessert for special occasions.

Portion Control

Serve smaller portions of carbohydrate-rich foods to prevent large blood sugar spikes.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

This practice helps in better digestion and gives your body time to regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Break Your Fast Gradually

Begin with lighter foods like a small bowl of soup or some dates and nuts, and wait a few minutes before moving on to the main meal.

Incorporate Resistant Starches

Include cooked and cooled potatoes or pasta, as they contain resistant starch that can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Be mindful of the total carbohydrates in your meal by balancing them with proteins, fats, and fiber-rich foods.
