How to consume Buttered Air Popped Popcorn without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of buttered popcorn you consume in one sitting to limit your overall carbohydrate intake.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your popcorn with a small serving of high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small apple. This can help slow down glucose absorption.

Add Protein and Healthy Fats

Combine your popcorn with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a small piece of cheese. This can help reduce the impact on your blood glucose levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole-grain popcorn kernels to increase fiber content, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating popcorn to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Monitor Your Timing

Try eating popcorn as a snack after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, like walking, after consuming popcorn to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite to help regulate your intake and avoid overeating.
