Eat vegetables first at meals. The fiber coats your intestines and slows how fast glucose enters your bloodstream, which means carbs you eat afterward won't spike your blood sugar as much.

If you really want to eat carbs with less impact on your health. Having a plate of vegetables at the beginning of a meal is an incredibly powerful hack. Veggies contain an amazing substance called fiber. When you have fiber at the beginning of a meal, the fiber has time to go and coat your upper intestine and to create a sort of protective shield. Any glucose coming down afterwards will not be able to get through your bloodstream as quickly. Wow.
