How to consume 55% dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Eat in Moderation

Limit the portion size of dark chocolate to a small piece rather than consuming a large quantity at once.

Pair with Protein

Consume dark chocolate alongside a protein source such as nuts, Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg to slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a small serving of berries to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming chocolate to help maintain proper blood sugar balance.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light activity like a 10-minute walk after eating chocolate to help your body utilize the sugar more efficiently.

Choose Complex Carbs

If you're eating chocolate as part of a meal, include complex carbohydrates like whole grains, quinoa, or sweet potatoes to provide a slower, steadier release of energy.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocados, almonds, or olive oil in your meal to help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals

Instead of having large meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar levels stable.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating dark chocolate to understand how it affects you personally, allowing you to adjust your intake accordingly.

Opt for Higher Cocoa Content

If possible, choose dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content than 55%, as it generally contains less sugar and more beneficial compounds.
