Coca-Cola (Coca-Cola) (1 Serving) and Oil Popped White Popcorn (1 Cup)

Replace regular Coca-Cola with water, unsweetened sparkling water, or a zero-sugar cola to remove the main source of rapidly absorbed sugar.

Reduce the popcorn portion and serve it in a bowl rather than eating from the bag; avoid refills.

Choose air-popped popcorn or lightly oil-popped popcorn without added sugar coatings, and use herbs or spices for flavor.

Eat the popcorn alongside a small serving of protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a handful of almonds, rather than eating it alone.

Have the snack after a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
