How to consume sardines in oil (canned) without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine sardines with foods high in fiber, such as lentils, chickpeas, or leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale. Fiber can help slow the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) into your meal. These fats can slow digestion and moderate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Vinegar

A small amount of vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, before or during your meal may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Choose Whole Grains

If you’re having bread or crackers with your sardines, opt for whole grain or multigrain varieties which tend to have a slower effect on blood sugar.

Practice Portion Control

Eat smaller portions of sardines to manage the overall carbohydrate load, and balance it with other components of your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water throughout the day can support overall glucose regulation and help mitigate spikes.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after your meal to help your muscles use up glucose more efficiently.

Add Protein

Include additional protein sources like boiled eggs or tofu in your meal which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing of Meals

Try to have consistent meal times and avoid very late meals, as eating at irregular times can affect blood sugar control.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to better enjoy your meal and give your body time to signal fullness, which can prevent overeating.
