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

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole grain popcorn instead of buttered to increase fiber intake, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Combine your popcorn with a protein source such as a handful of nuts or a serving of Greek yogurt. This can slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat like avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal to help mitigate the spike.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the serving size of the popcorn and Pepsi to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Drink Water Instead

Swap the Pepsi for water or an unsweetened beverage to avoid added sugars.

Include Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like a small salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and bell peppers to your meal.

Consume Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like berries or a small apple with the skin into your snack.

Avoid Added Sugars

Look for popcorn options that do not contain added sugars or excessive butter.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or gentle exercise after eating to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods and portion sizes affect you.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
