🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Grilled tofu – Provides a high-protein complement to meals, supporting satiety without adding carbs.
• Avocado salad – Rich in healthy fats and fiber, helping to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken breast – Lean protein source that helps maintain muscle mass and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Baked salmon – High in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Almond flour – Lower in carbs and has a higher protein content, which can help manage blood sugar levels.
• Coconut flour – Very low in carbs and high in fiber, aiding in slower glucose absorption.
• Flaxseed meal – Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, supporting blood sugar control and heart health.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb flours do not cause rapid blood sugar spikes.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar levels due to slow digestion and absorption of nutrients.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar, preventing the typical high followed by a rapid drop seen with high-carb flours.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Combine with high-fiber and high-protein foods to slow glucose absorption.
