Lowering blood sugar doesn’t always mean going super-low-carb.
Tweaking meal timing, food order, and preparation can lead to steady energy and reduced cravings.
Science shows that simple changes—like adding fiber, healthy fats, or a walk after eating—can make meals friendlier for your glucose levels.
Let’s break down nine surprising strategies you can use to keep your blood glucose in check without cutting out all the foods you love. (Based on the expertise of Dr. Jason Fung)
1. Embrace Low-Carb, But Not No-Carb
Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of glucose. So, naturally, eating lots of carbs—especially refined ones like white bread, rice, and potatoes—can spike your blood sugar. But rather than eliminating carbs completely, consider shifting toward a lower-carb diet. Cutting back (rather than cutting out) can make a significant difference in your blood sugar levels, while still letting you enjoy a variety of foods. Focus on quality, not only quantity.
