How to consume plain cheeseburger on bun without glucose spikes

Opt for a Whole Grain Bun

Choose a whole grain or whole wheat bun instead of a white bun to slow down the digestion process.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include fiber-rich toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado to help moderate the rise in glucose levels.

Incorporate Protein

Add a lean protein source like grilled chicken or turkey to your meal to improve satiety and reduce the likelihood of a spike.

Include Healthy Fats

Consider adding a slice of cheese made from a healthy fat source like goat cheese, or add a small serving of nuts or seeds to your meal.

Limit Sugary Condiments

Use mustard or a small amount of ketchup, or make your own low-sugar sauce to limit added sugars.

Portion Control

Consider eating half of the bun or opting for a smaller-sized burger to maintain portion control.

Add a Side of Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair your burger with a side of non-starchy vegetables like a salad or steamed broccoli instead of fries.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Tea

Choose water or unsweetened tea as your beverage to avoid additional sugars from drinks.

Chew Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to chew and savor each bite, which can help with digestion and insulin response.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds and make adjustments to the ingredients and portion sizes as needed.
