Zero Carb Protein (Isopure) (1 Serving)

Check the label for hidden carbohydrates, sugar alcohols, maltodextrin, or added sweeteners; try an unsweetened or differently sweetened zero-carb protein product if one ingredient appears to trigger the rise.

Use a smaller serving or split the protein into two portions taken 30–60 minutes apart.

Mix the protein with water rather than milk, juice, or sweetened plant drinks, and avoid adding fruit, honey, or calorie-containing flavorings.

Take it alongside a balanced meal or snack containing fiber and healthy fat, such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, almonds, or peanut butter.

Avoid taking it immediately after intense exercise, caffeine, poor sleep, or acute stress, since these can temporarily raise glucose independently of the protein.

Compare your response across several occasions and discuss persistent or unexpected rises with a clinician, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
