Fast food is full of refined grains and sugars—and it shows in members’ glucose data from these chains. Here’s what to watch out for, and healthier options.
To protect your future health, you want to avoid eating foods that’ll spike your blood sugar too often. At Levels they have millions of members who wear continuous glucose monitors (which record their real-time blood sugar response) and log their meals, and they can look at that data, over millions of logs, to see which restaurants and fast food joints seem to lead to the most significant blood sugar spikes. Note that many of these logs simply list the restaurant, not the specific food. So in a recent newsletter article they included the types of food that can be problematic from a metabolic health perspective, along with some alternative menu choices if you’re stuck in a restaurant like this and need to order something. In the words of the great Michael Pollen, A good rule of thumb for any meal when it comes to spiking blood sugar: “Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants.” I would add lean animal proteins but that’s only my bias talking.
