How to consume corny without glucose spikes

Pair Corn with Protein and Healthy Fats

Combine corn with sources of protein like chicken, fish, or tofu, and healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil. This can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the serving size of corn to minimize the intake of carbohydrates that can cause a spike in glucose levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale to your meal. These high-fiber foods can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Corn or Less Processed Forms

Choose whole corn on the cob or popcorn without added sugars or butter over more processed options like corn chips or cornbread.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Be Active After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating corn to help your body use up the glucose and reduce spikes.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of how your body responds to corn and adjust your intake or pairings accordingly to find what works best for you.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

Incorporate a small amount of vinegar-based dressings or pickles into your meal. The acidity can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Cook Corn Lightly

Opt for steaming or boiling corn instead of frying or grilling with added fats and sugars.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food to give your body time to register fullness, which can prevent overeating and subsequent glucose spikes.
