Burgers have high carbohydrate contents resulting in high blood glucose. The buns in burgers are usually made of refined flour (maida) with a high glycemic index.
It is critical to look at the tiny details of every ingredient used to prepare this irresistible food item to balance your glucose metabolism.
Stabilise your sugar levels while enjoying glucose-friendly burgers
• Replace your traditional burger buns with lettuce wraps and homemade chicken patty/paneer patty.
• Add flavour to your burger using vegetables and grilled chicken instead of cheese, mayonnaise and other sauces.
• Switching to alternate flours for the buns, like almond flour or coconut flour instead of refined flour, can make a significant difference because of the high fibre found in these flours.
Overindulgence in burgers can alter your metabolism leading to a spike in blood glucose levels. The condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise in burgers contain hidden sugars and salt. Please be sure to watch out for ingredients that cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is directly related to increased blood sugar levels.
