How to consume Potato Chips without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of potato chips you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions result in a smaller glucose spike.

Pair with Protein

Eat the potato chips alongside a protein-rich food like grilled chicken, turkey slices, or a handful of nuts to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Pair your chips with a source of healthy fat, such as avocado or a small amount of cheese. This can help moderate the glucose response.

Add Fiber

Consume the chips with high-fiber foods such as a leafy green salad, non-starchy vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers, or a small serving of beans.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating the chips. Chewing slowly and savoring each bite can prevent rapid spikes in glucose levels.

Choose Healthier Chips

Opt for chips made from whole grains, sweet potatoes, or other lower-impact carbohydrates.

Monitor Timing

Avoid eating potato chips on an empty stomach. Instead, have them as a part of a balanced meal to reduce the impact on your glucose levels.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, before consuming potato chips. Physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and mitigate glucose spikes.

Snack Substitution

When possible, replace potato chips with lower-impact snacks like nuts, seeds, or air-popped popcorn, which can provide a similar crunch without significantly spiking glucose levels.
