How to consume French Fries (Large), Mc Chicken without glucose spikes

Eat a Balanced Meal

Pair your meal with a source of protein and healthy fats, such as grilled chicken or fish, avocado, or a handful of nuts, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like a small side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes, or a serving of steamed broccoli or asparagus to help manage glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels and aid in digestion.

Practice Portion Control

Try reducing the portion size of the French fries and opt for a smaller serving of the McChicken to limit carbohydrate intake.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew food thoroughly and enjoy your meal, which can help you feel full sooner and prevent overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider having your meal earlier in the day when your body may be more efficient at processing glucose, rather than late in the evening.

Choose Healthier Cooking Methods

If possible, opt for baked or grilled potatoes instead of fried, and request a grilled chicken sandwich instead of fried to reduce the intake of unhealthy fats.

Substitute with Low-Carb Vegetables

Replace some of the fries with low-carb vegetables like zucchini sticks or bell pepper slices to decrease the overall carbohydrate content of the meal.

Consider a Vinegar Dressing

Use a small amount of vinegar-based dressing on your salad to slow the rate of carbohydrate digestion and absorption.
