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

Drink Water

Consume a glass of water before and after eating to help dilute the sugar concentration in your bloodstream and aid digestion.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein such as a handful of nuts or a serving of Greek yogurt with your snack to slow down sugar absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Pair your popcorn with a small serving of avocado or a few olives to help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Eat a small salad with leafy greens or some raw vegetables like carrots or bell peppers alongside your snack to add fiber, which helps moderate glucose absorption.

Choose a Smaller Portion

Reduce the portion size of popcorn and Pepsi to minimize the amount of sugar and carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Walk After Eating

Engage in a light walk or some form of mild exercise after consuming your snack to help your muscles use some of the glucose from your bloodstream.

Opt for Diet Versions

If consuming Pepsi, consider switching to a diet or zero-sugar version to reduce the sugar intake.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood glucose levels after eating and adjust your future portion sizes and combinations accordingly.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating to allow your body to better regulate blood sugar levels naturally.

Include Cinnamon

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your popcorn or consume a small amount in tea form as some studies suggest it may help with blood sugar regulation.
