How to consume 90% Dark Chocolate without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume the dark chocolate with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a spoonful of peanut butter, to slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce the impact of glucose spikes.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a small serving of fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds when consuming dark chocolate. These can be mixed into yogurt or a smoothie.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Consider taking a short walk or engaging in light exercise after eating dark chocolate to help your body use the sugar more efficiently.

Mindful Portion Control

Limit the amount of dark chocolate you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall sugar intake and potential for a rise in glucose levels.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on your dark chocolate. Cinnamon has properties that may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Choose a Balanced Snack

Combine the dark chocolate with a small piece of fruit like an apple or pear, which are lower in sugar and can provide additional nutrients and fiber.

Monitor Timing of Consumption

Eat dark chocolate as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach, as the presence of other foods can moderate the absorption of sugar.

Opt for Smaller Doses

Consider eating a smaller amount of dark chocolate more frequently rather than a larger serving at once to minimize spikes.

Relax and Reduce Stress

Practice stress-reduction techniques such as deep breathing or meditation, as stress can influence blood sugar levels.
