How to consume Nachos With Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of nachos you consume. Smaller portions can help minimize the glucose surge.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey, to your nachos. Protein can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add foods like avocado or a small amount of nuts. Healthy fats can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Toppings

Top your nachos with beans, such as black beans or pinto beans, and a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and spinach to add fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grain Chips

If possible, use whole grain or multigrain tortilla chips as they tend to have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water before and during your meal can aid digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Add a Side Salad

Eating a salad with leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables before your nachos can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Use Low-Fat Cheese

Opt for reduced-fat cheese to lower the calorie and fat content without sacrificing flavor.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food, which can help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different foods and adjust your choices accordingly to better manage your blood sugar levels.
