How to consume KFC without glucose spikes

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to help your body process excess glucose more efficiently.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

After eating, take a brisk walk for 15-20 minutes. This can help lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and promoting glucose uptake by muscles.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Be mindful of how much you eat at KFC. Opt for smaller portions, and consider sharing meals to avoid excessive carbohydrate intake.

Include Fiber-Rich Sides

Choose sides that are high in fiber, such as a small serving of coleslaw or a green salad, to slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.

Opt for Grilled Options

If possible, choose grilled chicken instead of fried to reduce intake of unhealthy fats and carbohydrates.

Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats

Incorporate foods like nuts or seeds with your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating to give your body a chance to regulate its response to the carbohydrates in your meal.

Plan Ahead

If you know you'll be eating at KFC, try to balance your meal earlier in the day with foods that are low in refined carbs and sugars.

Avoid Sugary Beverages

Choose water, unsweetened tea, or other non-sugary drinks instead of soda or sweetened drinks which can exacerbate glucose spikes.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels before and after meals to better understand how different foods affect you and to make more informed choices in the future.
