How to consume cheeseburger with tomato and/or catsup on bun without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Buns

Replace the regular bun with a whole grain or multigrain option to increase fiber content and slow down sugar absorption.

Load Up on Vegetables

Add extra non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, or bell peppers to your burger. These can help slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Choose a Lean Protein

If possible, use a leaner cut of meat or plant-based protein alternatives to reduce saturated fat intake, which can affect insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Consider eating a smaller portion of the burger or splitting it into halves to reduce the overall carb intake.

Include a Side Salad

Pair your burger with a side salad topped with lemon juice or vinegar-based dressing. This adds fiber and acidity, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a small handful of nuts as a side. Healthy fats can help you feel fuller longer and slow the digestion of carbohydrates.

Limit or Avoid Sugary Condiments

Use mustard or a small amount of low-sugar ketchup to cut down on simple sugars consumed.

Hydrate with Water

Drink water or unsweetened tea with your meal to avoid sugary drinks that can elevate blood sugar levels.

Add a Source of Protein or Fiber

Enjoy your meal with a side of lentil soup or a small serving of hummus and veggie sticks to increase fiber and protein, further aiding in blood sugar control.

Take a Post-Meal Walk

Engage in light physical activity after eating, such as a 10-15 minute walk, to help your body use up the glucose more efficiently.
