Avoid sugary drinks, shakes, desserts, and large fries; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

Downsize the meal: choose one main item, skip extra buns or fries, and avoid supersizing.

Start with a side salad or other non-starchy vegetables, using a low-sugar dressing sparingly, before eating the rest of the meal.

Choose protein-focused options such as egg, grilled chicken, beef patty, cheese, or fish, and remove part of the bun if practical.

Add a small portion of nuts, such as almonds or peanuts, if available and appropriate for you, rather than adding fries or sweets.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and follow any glucose-monitoring or medication plan provided by your clinician.
