How to consume 70% dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Moderate Portion Size

Limit your intake to a smaller portion to reduce the overall glucose impact. Dark chocolate is calorie-dense, so a few squares can be satisfying.

Pair with Fiber

Add a source of fiber, such as a handful of almonds or walnuts, which can slow carbohydrate absorption and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Protein

Eat dark chocolate alongside a protein-rich food like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to help moderate glucose spikes.

Choose Darker Varieties

Opt for dark chocolate with a higher percentage of cocoa (above 70%), as it typically contains less sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Pair dark chocolate with foods high in healthy fats, like avocado or a small serving of cheese, to further slow the digestion process.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after consuming dark chocolate to help utilize the glucose more effectively.

Hydrate Wisely

Drink water or herbal tea alongside your chocolate to support digestion and help with overall glucose management without adding extra calories or sugars.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and savor each bite of chocolate, which can enhance satisfaction and help prevent overeating.

Timing Matters

Enjoy dark chocolate as part of a balanced meal, rather than on its own, to diminish its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to dark chocolate and adjust your strategies accordingly to find what works best for you.
