How to consume plain or buttermilk biscuits, tea unsweetened without glucose spikes
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and reduce the spike in glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of cheese. Fats can help moderate the body's glucose response.
Increase Fiber Intake
Pair your meal with fiber-rich foods, such as a small serving of berries or a leafy green salad. Fiber helps in slowing down the digestion and absorption of sugars.
Limit Portion Size
Reduce the portion size of the biscuits to minimize the carbohydrate load and its impact on your blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before eating. Adequate hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Pair with Vegetables
Add some non-starchy vegetables, like cucumber or cherry tomatoes, to your meal. They can help fill you up and provide additional nutrients without spiking glucose levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, choose whole grain or whole wheat versions of biscuits. They typically have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to refined grains.
Practice Mindfulness
Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body a chance to process the food more effectively, which can help in managing blood sugar spikes.
Monitor Timing
Try to eat your biscuits as part of a balanced meal rather than on their own to distribute the carbohydrate load more evenly.
Consider Tea Add-ins
While your tea is unsweetened, you can enhance its flavor with a sprinkle of cinnamon, which may help regulate blood sugar levels.
