Fibrous foods delay how quickly your body absorbs sugar to prevent your blood sugar from rising rapidly. “I try to eat fiber-rich foods to keep myself full at lunch to minimize snacking later,” says Dr. Soleimanpour, “This way I’m not riding a rollercoaster of high blood sugar and low blood sugar after I eat.”
For lunch, he slurps down a homemade kale smoothie consisting of a few cups of kale and five to six cups of water with just a half to a whole cup of pineapple to get that sweet taste. If he doesn’t get a chance to eat a filling lunch, he opts for a glass of water mixed with a couple tablespoons of dissolvable fiber to keep his blood sugar stable.
