How to consume Pop corn without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Keep your popcorn servings small to avoid consuming excessive carbohydrates in one sitting.

Add Protein

Pair your popcorn with a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or seeds, to help slow down digestion and minimize glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat, like olive oil or avocado, to your popcorn. This can help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea while eating popcorn to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole-Grain Popcorn

Choose air-popped, whole-grain popcorn rather than pre-packaged, flavored, or buttered versions, as these often contain added sugars and unhealthy fats.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Eat popcorn alongside vegetables like carrots or celery sticks, which are high in fiber and can help stabilize blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat popcorn, chewing thoroughly to aid digestion and absorption of carbohydrates more gradually.

Exercise Post-Snack

Consider a brisk walk or light physical activity after eating popcorn to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating popcorn to understand your body's response and adjust your portion sizes or food combinations accordingly.
