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

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of buttered popcorn and Pepsi to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Drink Water

Opt for water instead of Pepsi to avoid additional sugar intake. If you miss the flavor, consider a naturally flavored sparkling water without added sugars.

Add Protein

Pair your popcorn with a protein source like a handful of almonds or a small serving of cheese to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Fiber

Add a side of vegetables, such as carrot sticks or cucumber slices, to increase the fiber content of your meal, which can help moderate glucose levels.

Healthy Fats

Integrate healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of nuts with your snack to promote satiety and help stabilize blood sugar.

Time Your Meals

Try eating your popcorn and Pepsi earlier in the day when your body is more active, which may help in utilizing the glucose more efficiently.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your snack to help lower blood sugar levels.

Choose Air-Popped

Ensure your popcorn is air-popped and not cooked in oil, and use minimal butter to reduce fat and calorie intake.

Opt for Diet Versions

If you choose to have a soda, consider a sugar-free or diet version to significantly cut down on sugar.

Eat Slowly

Slow down your eating pace to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates, which can help in reducing blood sugar spikes.
