Potato French Fries (1 10 Strips (2 Inches To 3 1/2 Inches))

Have a smaller portion of fries and avoid refills; pair them with grilled chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, or another protein to slow the glucose rise.

Choose oven-baked or air-fried potato wedges with the skin on instead of deep-fried fries, and keep the serving modest.

Eat a non-starchy vegetable side first, such as broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, or a leafy salad with vinegar-based dressing.

Add healthy fats in moderate amounts, such as avocado, olives, nuts, or seeds, rather than sugary sauces or ketchup.

Skip soda, sweet tea, milkshakes, and dessert with the fries; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe for you, to help your muscles use circulating glucose.
