[thefnshow]

i'm going to see alien vs pedator requiem with some friends and was wondering if movie popcorn is ok. if it is does it have to be plain or can i put a little butter on it ?

That's difficult to say not knowing anything about you or your meds. Popcorn and I get along very well. The butter can actually slow down the carbs and spread them out longer. I will go high several hours after eating a large bowl. Can you skip your dinner and have these instead? Do you count carbs?

I can eat the small, 100 cal. microwave popcorn without problems....movie popcorn doesn't bother me...IF I stick to that same portion amount...if I mindlessly eat while watching the movie, i'll eat too much and go high. We usually get a small bag of buttered pop corn and i'll get a cup from concessions (like they give with the big tubs for sharing) and only eat 1-2 of the small cups.

Usually though we'll just go to lunch or dinner right before the movie so we aren't hungry...less temptation that way.

Test before and after, so you can learn for yourself. Most of us do this with foods we are unsure of.

I am the same way. One of my very favorite things to eat is Movie Popcorn.. I could eat it just about every single day and thankfully, it doesn't bother me.

We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks Saturday and me and my daughter wiped out a whole tub between us. We skipped lunch though and that was our lunch I guess you could say. lol

I have yet to ever have a reaction from it though. I do think, if I had a reaction, I'd just have to have one with that. I'll give up anything but my popcorn. :eek:

I love movie popcorn but I have to give myself soooooo much insulin to cover it ~ it freaks me out. A giant blast up front, a giant blast after it's done, and I STILL rise higher than I like to later. Delicious though eh? I always add the extra butter. I don't go to the theater very often so it's worth the treat sometimes! Have fun!

I love popcorn too. It is so good and goes so well with movies:)
I am told hot air is better for you but I have a bowl of popcorn with butter and salt every once in awhile. It is my favorite snack. According to my diatician 5 cups of popped pop corn is about 15 carbs. so I love it cause I can have quite a bit.

But again keep in mind everyone's body is different so keep an eye on you bgl. enjoy the movie :)

I don't think I'd go to the movies if I couldn't have it... in fact, I have gone to the movies JUST to get it sometimes until I found out I could just go in and get some to go. lol

I don't eat very many things, in fact NOTHING in large quantities..... but popcorn, especially the movie kind, I can flat put that away.

My husband bought me one of these here, in fact, because I am such a popcorn freak. and wow, do I ever love that thing. I use it at least 3 times a week. lol
