How to consume Butter Popcorn without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Incorporate a source of protein with your popcorn, such as a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small serving of avocado or a few olives with your snack. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Include Fiber

Pair your popcorn with a fiber-rich food like a small apple or a few carrot sticks to help slow down digestion.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of popcorn you consume to avoid large spikes in blood sugar.

Opt for Air-Popped

Choose air-popped popcorn without added butter or salt to reduce added fats and sodium.

Engage in Light Activity

A short walk or light exercise after eating can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your popcorn. Some studies suggest that cinnamon may help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating popcorn as a part of a larger meal rather than on its own to balance its effects with other nutrients.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating popcorn to understand how it affects you personally and make adjustments accordingly.
