How to consume Nachos With Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of nachos you consume to lower the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey to your nachos. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a dollop of guacamole. Healthy fats can also slow the digestion process and reduce spikes in blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grain or Alternative Chips

Opt for whole grain tortilla chips or those made with alternative flours like chickpea or lentil, which tend to have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Top your nachos with plenty of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions to increase fiber content and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Low-Fat Cheese

Use lower-fat cheese options or reduce the overall amount of cheese to decrease saturated fat intake and moderate the calorie content.

Pair with a Salad

Eat a side salad with a vinegar-based dressing before or alongside your nachos to add more fiber and promote a feeling of fullness.

Hydrate Wisely

Drink water or unsweetened beverages with your meal to aid digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and with awareness to improve digestion and recognize fullness cues to prevent overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after consuming your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
