How to consume Buttered Air Popped Popcorn, Pepsi without glucose spikes

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your diet. Adding a tablespoon of these seeds to yogurt or smoothies can help slow down glucose absorption.

Include Protein

Pair your snack with a protein source such as almonds or a small serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Consider adding a small portion of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, which contain healthy fats that can slow glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole-grain alternatives when possible. For example, consider switching to whole grain popcorn varieties, if available.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Practice Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of high-glycemic foods like buttered popcorn and sugary drinks to minimize their impact on blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brief walk, after consuming high-glycemic foods to help your body process sugar more efficiently.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming these foods to understand their impact and adjust your consumption accordingly.

Opt for Alternatives

Consider replacing Pepsi with beverages like sparkling water infused with a splash of lemon or lime, which can be more blood sugar-friendly.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and pay attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues to prevent overeating, which can lead to larger glucose spikes.
