How to consume Cheetos without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of Cheetos you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Eat a small amount of lean protein, such as a hard-boiled egg or a handful of nuts, alongside the Cheetos to help slow down glucose absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a few olives, as they can help stabilize blood sugar.

Select Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your snack with a fiber-rich option such as raw vegetables (like carrot or cucumber sticks) to help slow digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating to help manage appetite and prevent overeating.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after consuming Cheetos to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Plan Your Snack Times

Try eating Cheetos as part of a planned snack rather than an unplanned indulgence, allowing you to better manage your overall intake throughout the day.

Choose Complex Carbs

If you're still hungry, opt for complex carbohydrates like a small piece of whole grain bread or oatmeal, which have a more gradual impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Use smaller bowls or bags to help control portions, making it less likely to consume excessive amounts.

Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly

This can help you feel more satisfied with smaller amounts and aid in better digestion.
