Raw almonds (1 piece)

Reduce the almond portion (for example, measure a small handful) and eat them slowly rather than grazing from the bag.

Have almonds as part of a balanced snack with plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a boiled egg to slow digestion.

Pair almonds with high-fiber, non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, celery, bell pepper, or leafy greens.

Avoid combining almonds with sweetened drinks, dried fruit, candy, or refined crackers, which can add to the rise.

Choose unsweetened, unflavored raw almonds and check labels for added sugar or honey coatings.

Take a gentle 10–15 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and practical for you.
