How to consume Classic Salted Popcorn, Pepsi without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fat with your popcorn and Pepsi. Consider eating a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or some Greek yogurt. These additions can help slow down the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.

Choose a Smaller Portion

Reduce the portion size of the popcorn and soda to minimize the amount of carbohydrates you consume at one time. Smaller portions will naturally lead to a lower glucose response.

Stay Hydrated with Water

Opt for water instead of Pepsi to quench your thirst. This will eliminate the additional sugar intake from the soda and help manage your glucose levels more effectively.

Incorporate Fiber-rich Foods

Add a fiber-rich food to your meal, such as a small apple, a pear, or some carrot sticks. The additional fiber can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Go for a Walk Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming popcorn and soda. Exercise helps your muscles utilize glucose, reducing blood sugar levels more quickly.

Mindful Eating Practices

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates and to avoid overeating. Mindful eating can also enhance your sense of fullness and satisfaction.

Substitute with Whole Grain Popcorn

If possible, choose whole grain or air-popped popcorn varieties that may contain more fiber and fewer added sugars or fats.

Limit Additional Sugar Intake

Avoid other high-sugar foods and beverages throughout the day to keep your overall sugar intake in check and maintain more stable glucose levels.
