How to consume Airplane food without glucose spikes

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water during the flight. Staying hydrated helps stabilize blood sugar levels and can manage spikes more effectively.

Increase Fiber Intake

If possible, consume foods high in fiber before or during your flight. Foods like lentils, apples, and bran cereal can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Opt for Protein-Rich Snacks

Choose snacks rich in protein such as almonds, cheese cubes, or Greek yogurt which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Avoid Sugary Drinks

Instead of soda or fruit juices, opt for water or unsweetened beverages to prevent further spikes in blood sugar.

Eat Smaller Portions

Instead of consuming a large meal all at once, try eating smaller portions throughout the flight to keep your blood sugar levels more balanced.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Whenever possible, take short walks or do some light stretching exercises when it’s safe to move around the cabin. Physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If available, select whole-grain options over refined grains. Foods like whole-grain bread or oatmeal can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Avoid High-Carb Foods

Steer clear of high-carbohydrate foods such as rice, pasta, and bread that are commonly served in airplane meals, as they can cause large glucose spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating and savor each bite. Eating slowly can help with better digestion and reduce the likelihood of a sugar spike.

Bring Your Own Snacks

Pack your own low-carb, high-fiber snacks such as carrot sticks or a small portion of mixed berries to have better control over what you’re eating.
