🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Mixed nuts – Provide healthy fats and proteins, which can help slow the absorption of any carbs and stabilize blood sugar levels.
• Chia pudding – Offers a high-fiber, low-carb option that can help maintain a steady blood sugar level.

🍽️ Best Paired With (Non Veg)

• Grilled chicken salad – Lean protein from chicken helps moderate blood sugar levels, while the greens add fiber without significant carbs.
• Smoked salmon with avocado – Healthy fats from avocado and protein from salmon provide satiety and slow carbohydrate metabolism.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Raspberries – Lower in carbs and have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels, while providing ample fiber and antioxidants.
• Blackberries – These berries are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, helping to manage blood sugar spikes.
• Strawberries – Offer a sweet taste with fewer carbs and a high fiber content, aiding in blood sugar regulation.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 0–15 min: Minimal impact as low-carb substitutes are digested slowly.
• 30–60 min: Stable blood sugar due to the high fiber content in the substitutes.
• 2–3 hr: Continued stable blood sugar levels, preventing late postprandial spikes.

🧠 Lowering Impact Tip

Consume in moderation, pair with a source of healthy fats or proteins to slow glucose absorption.
