How to consume Classic Salted Popcorn without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your intake of popcorn to a small serving to reduce the potential for a glucose spike.

Add Healthy Fats

Pair popcorn with a source of healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or walnuts, to slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Incorporate a lean protein source like grilled chicken or a hard-boiled egg alongside your popcorn to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Combine with Vegetables

Eat popcorn with a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as celery sticks or cherry tomatoes, to increase fiber intake and help manage blood sugar.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water before and after eating popcorn, as staying hydrated can help control blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose popcorn made from whole grains, as they are digested more slowly than refined grains, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming popcorn to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat popcorn slowly and mindfully to give your body time to register fullness and avoid overeating.

Balance Snacks

Include snacks rich in fiber, like a small serving of hummus with carrot sticks, to help manage glucose levels throughout the day.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating popcorn to better understand how your body responds and make adjustments as needed.
