How to consume doritos without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a slice of cheese, alongside the Doritos to help slow down glucose absorption.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Add a fiber-rich food like a small apple or carrot sticks to your snack. Fiber can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Exercise

Engage in moderate physical activity, such as a brisk walk or light jogging, after eating to help your muscles use up excess glucose.

Portion Control

Limit your portion size of Doritos to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in managing the blood sugar spike.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming Doritos on an empty stomach. Instead, have them as part of a balanced meal to lessen the impact on blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

During meals, opt for whole-grain options like quinoa or brown rice, as they can provide a more stable energy release and help balance your blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to enhance digestion and give your body time to process carbohydrates more effectively.

Herbal Tea

Consider having herbal tea, such as chamomile or peppermint, after your snack, as it may aid digestion and reduce post-snack glucose spikes.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly, especially after eating foods that can cause spikes, to better understand how your body responds and adjust accordingly.
