How to consume Cake without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a serving of protein such as nuts, Greek yogurt, or eggs with your cake. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Fiber

Consume a fiber-rich food like a small salad, a side of beans, or a whole-grain item alongside your cake to help moderate the spike.

Choose Smart Portions

Opt for a smaller portion of cake to reduce the overall sugar intake.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water or unsweetened tea before eating cake to help fill you up and reduce the amount you eat.

Timing Matters

Eat cake after a balanced meal rather than alone, as the additional nutrients can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Vinegar

Consider having a small amount of vinegar, such as a vinegar-based dressing on a salad, which may aid in controlling blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

A short walk or gentle exercise after eating can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Include Berries

Have a side of berries like strawberries or blueberries, which can help counterbalance the sugar from the cake due to their lower sugar content and beneficial compounds.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite of the cake and eating slowly, which can help prevent overeating and increase satisfaction with smaller portions.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to cake and adjust your strategies as necessary to better manage your glucose levels.
