How to consume Five guys without glucose spikes

Incorporate More Fiber

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after the meal to help your body dilute and process the glucose.

Physical Activity

Take a brisk walk after eating to help your muscles use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream, thus reducing the spike.

Portion Control

Consider eating only a portion of your meal and saving the rest for later. Eating smaller amounts can help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Protein and Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats, such as an avocado, or an additional protein like grilled chicken, to help slow digestion and maintain stable glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food more efficiently, which can help moderate glucose spikes.

Choose Alternative Buns or Wraps

If available, opt for whole-grain or lettuce wraps instead of regular buns to reduce the carbohydrate load.

Monitor Carb Intake

Pay attention to the carbohydrate content of your meal and avoid adding high-carb sides like fries. Consider substituting with a fruit option like berries.

Timing

Try to eat at times when your body is more insulin sensitive, such as earlier in the day, to better handle the glucose load.

Track and Adjust

Use a glucose monitor to track your levels after meals and make adjustments to your diet and lifestyle based on your findings.
