How to consume Cooked Yellow Corn without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate protein sources such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans, or healthy fats like avocado or nuts in your meal to slow down glucose absorption.

Increase Fiber Intake

Include fiber-rich foods like leafy greens, lentils, or chia seeds alongside your cooked yellow corn to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Add Non-starchy Vegetables

Combine your corn with non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to add volume and nutrients while controlling glucose spikes.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of cooked yellow corn and fill your plate with other low-impact foods such as quinoa or barley.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink water before your meal to help control appetite and reduce the likelihood of consuming excess corn.

Timing of Consumption

Eat your corn as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own to ensure a gradual absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Vinegar or Lemon

Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your corn salad or dish to help moderate blood sugar responses.

Choose Whole Kernels

Opt for whole, less processed corn options rather than corn-based products which might contribute to higher glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity post-meal, such as a walk, to help reduce glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating techniques to slow down your eating pace, allowing your body to efficiently manage glucose intake.
