Between meals


(Felicity ) #1

Hi again,
Another question!
Will having a cup of tea with cream between meals spike my insulin.
I have cut snacking out completely but still have my cup of tea between breakfast and lunch and one between lunch and dinner. I aldo have one after dinner.

Should be fine as cream is mostly fat. Not the purest form of fat as has some protein but if you are having a small splash in your tea it will not be enough to spike any insulin.

Even when you eat fat your body will still raise insulin ever so slightly but nothing to be a concern.

Spike no
There is a small amount of carbs in it, but not enough to worry about on a coffee size portion.
raise yes, insulin can be raised a small amount by many things.
