How to consume doritos without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a serving of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu when eating Doritos. Protein can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Eat Vegetables

Combine Doritos with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or leafy greens. The fiber in these vegetables can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Moderate Portion Size

Eat a smaller portion of Doritos to minimize the overall carbohydrate intake.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after eating to help your body process the carbohydrates more efficiently.

Time Your Snacks

Consume Doritos during a meal rather than as a standalone snack. This can help mitigate the impact on your blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

Opt for whole grain versions of chips if available, as they can have a more favorable effect on blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect you and make adjustments accordingly.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Limit Sugary Beverages

Avoid consuming sugary drinks alongside Doritos, as this can exacerbate blood sugar spikes. Instead, opt for water or unsweetened beverages.
