How to consume Junk without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion sizes of junk food to limit the intake of sugars and unhealthy fats.

Balanced Meals

Pair junk food with foods high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars. Examples include adding a handful of nuts, seeds, or a slice of avocado to your meal.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole-grain versions of junk food items such as whole-grain crackers or popcorn instead of regular chips.

Include Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables to your meal, such as leafy greens, cucumbers, or bell peppers, to increase fiber and reduce spikes.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Proteins

Add a source of lean protein to your snacks, such as boiled eggs or Greek yogurt, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew food thoroughly, which can aid in better digestion and prevent overconsumption.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activities, such as a brisk walk, after consuming junk food to help in metabolizing the sugars more effectively.

Mindful Snacking

Opt for snacks that contain minimal processed sugars. Try nuts, hummus with veggies, or a small serving of cheese.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood glucose levels to understand how different foods affect you and adjust your diet accordingly.
