How to consume Oil Popped Popcorn (Microwaved) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of popcorn you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help prevent a significant spike in glucose levels.

Add Protein

Pair the popcorn with a small amount of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as a small serving of avocado or a few olives, to your meal. This can help moderate glucose spikes.

Choose Whole-Grain Options

If available, opt for popcorn made from whole-grain kernels, as they tend to have a more gradual impact on glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and while eating your snack to help control hunger and avoid overeating.

Eat Slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body time to process the glucose more effectively.

Incorporate Fiber

Include a high-fiber food like a small apple or a few berries alongside your popcorn to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to your hunger cues and eat only when genuinely hungry to avoid unnecessary glucose spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating popcorn to better understand how your body responds and make necessary adjustments.
