How to consume French Fries (Large) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish in your meal to help slow down glucose absorption.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil. These can help moderate the impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.
Choose Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal to increase fiber intake, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Smaller Portions
Consider reducing the portion size of the fries to limit your carbohydrate intake and the resulting glucose spike.
Hydrate Adequately
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as staying hydrated can support better blood sugar management.
Incorporate Vinegar
Try adding a side salad with a vinegar-based dressing. The acetic acid in vinegar has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity.
Engage in Light Activity
After eating, consider a short walk or light physical activity to help utilize glucose more effectively and reduce the spike.
Choose Whole Grains
If you’re adding more carbs to your meal, opt for whole grains like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.
Eat Mindfully
Take your time when eating to give your body the chance to recognize fullness and avoid overeating.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood sugar levels post-meal to understand how your body specifically reacts and make necessary adjustments.
