How to consume Air Popped Popcorn without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of the air-popped popcorn to minimize the carbohydrate intake, which can help mitigate large glucose spikes.

Pair with Protein

Consume a small serving of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside your popcorn. The protein and healthy fats in nuts can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat, like olive oil or avocado slices, to your meal. These can help slow digestion and reduce the impact on your blood sugar.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds into your snack. These can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming popcorn. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Engage in Physical Activity

Go for a short walk or engage in light exercise after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Choose Low-Sugar Beverages

If you're having a drink with your snack, choose unsweetened tea or water instead of sugary beverages to avoid adding extra sugar to your meal.

Spread Out Your Carbs

Incorporate popcorn into your diet as a smaller part of a balanced meal or snack that includes protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

Monitor Timing

Consider having your popcorn earlier in the day when your body’s insulin sensitivity is generally higher, instead of in the evening.

Keep a Food Journal

Record your popcorn consumption and blood sugar levels to identify patterns and make necessary adjustments to your diet.
