How to consume Nachos With Cheese And Sour Cream without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your nachos to minimize the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in managing glucose spikes.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey, to slow down the digestion process and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds to your nachos. These healthy fats can help in moderating the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grain Chips

Opt for whole grain or baked tortilla chips instead of regular ones. These have more fiber, which can help in controlling blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber

Top your nachos with fiber-rich vegetables such as bell peppers, tomatoes, or spinach. Fiber helps slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Swap Sour Cream

Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream. It is lower in fat and adds extra protein, which helps in managing blood sugar levels.

Limit Cheese

Use cheese sparingly or opt for a lower-fat cheese option to reduce the overall calorie and fat content of your meal.

Salsa Over Cheese

Replace some of the cheese with salsa for added flavor without adding extra fat and calories.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Proper hydration can help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body burn off some of the excess glucose.
