How to consume Lemon water without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Lemons

Use fresh, whole lemons and dilute their juice with plenty of water to reduce the impact on your glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Pair lemon water with a high-fiber food such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of oats to slow down the absorption of sugar.

Incorporate Protein

Consume lemon water alongside a source of protein like a handful of nuts, a boiled egg, or Greek yogurt to help stabilize your glucose response.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat such as avocado or a few olives to your meal or snack when consuming lemon water, as fats can help slow sugar absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of plain water before and after having lemon water to help balance your body's response.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Limit the amount of lemon juice to avoid excessive intake, as consuming large quantities may lead to a spike.

Choose Complex Carbs

If having lemon water as part of a meal, include complex carbohydrates such as quinoa or barley, which are absorbed more slowly.

Timing with Meals

Consume lemon water after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce its impact on your glucose levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity like walking after consuming lemon water to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Monitor Your Body's Response

Pay attention to how your body reacts to lemon water and adjust your consumption or accompanying food choices accordingly.
