Plum (1 Plum (2 1/8 Inches Dia))

Keep the serving to 1–2 medium fresh plums, and eat them slowly rather than having several at once.

Choose whole fresh plums instead of plum juice, smoothies, jam, or dried plums, which are more concentrated in sugar.

Pair plums with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a boiled egg to slow absorption.

Add a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or sprinkle chia seeds on yogurt alongside the plums.

Have plums after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables and protein instead of eating them alone when very hungry.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
