Start lunch and dinner with vegetables: the exact same meal produces a lower blood sugar spike.
Micro-habits to get started
Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:
Three green bites
Before touching rice, potatoes, or bread, take three bites of salad or vegetables.
The effect is even greater for anyone with prediabetes or insulin resistance.
2 minNo bread while waiting
At a restaurant, ask to remove the bread basket or save it to accompany the main course.
Refined flour on an empty stomach is the worst possible timing.
1 minStarter with vinegar or lemon
Dress your starter salad with vinegar or lemon juice.
It does the same thing as a glass of diluted vinegar, tastes better, and won't erode tooth enamel.
