How to consume plain cheeseburger on bun without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consider eating a smaller portion of the cheeseburger. Reducing the size will lower the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Buns

Opt for a whole grain or multigrain bun instead of a white bun. These options contain more fiber, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Sides

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like a leafy green salad or steamed broccoli. These vegetables are high in fiber and can help balance blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small handful of nuts as a side. Healthy fats can slow down the digestion process, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Balance with Protein

Pair your meal with additional protein, such as grilled chicken or a boiled egg. Protein helps in stabilizing blood sugar levels by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This practice can aid digestion and prevent overeating, which may contribute to larger glucose spikes.

Add Vinegar or Lemon

Incorporate vinegar-based dressings or a squeeze of lemon juice on your salad. The acidity can help slow carbohydrate digestion.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after eating. This can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
