How to consume Toast without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Sourdough Bread

Opt for whole grain or sourdough bread instead of white bread. These options are digested more slowly, leading to a more gradual release of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Pair your toast with healthy fats such as avocado, nut butter, or seeds like chia or flaxseed. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Protein

Include a protein source like an egg or Greek yogurt with your toast. Protein can help maintain steady blood sugar by slowing down carbohydrate digestion.

Include Fiber-Rich Toppings

Top your toast with fiber-rich foods such as berries or a sprinkle of oat bran. Fiber can help slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Consider Portion Size

Reduce the portion of toast you consume, or have just one slice instead of two. Controlling portion size can help mitigate spikes in blood sugar.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can enhance digestion and help prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before or with your meal. Adequate hydration can help with the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after eating. Exercise can help your muscles use glucose, reducing blood sugar levels more quickly.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different foods and combinations affect your blood sugar. This will help you adjust your diet more effectively over time.
