Roasted Salted Cashew Nuts (100 G)

Reduce the cashew portion and pre-portion it rather than eating from the bag; try 15–20 g (about a small handful) and compare your response.

Choose plain dry-roasted cashews with no sugar, honey, starch coating, or flavored seasoning; salted varieties can also encourage larger portions.

Eat cashews as part of a meal instead of alone, alongside non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, peppers, broccoli, or leafy greens.

Pair a small serving of cashews with protein, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, or cottage cheese, to slow the overall rise.

Avoid combining cashews with rapidly absorbed carbohydrate foods or drinks, such as sweetened beverages, candy, dried fruit, crackers, or white bread.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, and use your glucose readings to identify the portion that works best.
