- Mixed nuts – Provide healthy fats and proteins with minimal impact on blood sugar.
- Cheese – High in protein and fat, low in carbs, helping to maintain stable glucose levels.
🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)
- Grilled chicken – High in protein and virtually no carbs, supporting stable blood sugar.
- Fish – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and proteins, beneficial for overall health and glycemic control.
🥄 Smart Substitutes
- Berries – Lower glycemic index and fewer carbs per serving compared to grapes.
- Avocado – Rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.
⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline
- 0–15 min: Minimal impact as fats and proteins do not spike blood sugar quickly.
- 30–60 min: Gradual increase if any, depending on the amount and type of food consumed.
- 2–3 hr: Blood sugar levels should remain relatively stable, especially with low-carb, high-fat/protein meals.
