How to consume Cake without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consider eating a small portion of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside your cake. These foods can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If possible, opt for a whole-grain version of the cake or eat a small serving of whole-grain bread before having the cake to help balance your blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of fiber-rich foods, such as a small apple or pear, to your meal. These fruits help to moderate glucose absorption.

Drink Water or Herbal Tea

Stay hydrated by drinking a glass of water or unsweetened herbal tea, which can aid digestion and help manage blood sugar spikes.

Take a Walk Post-Meal

Engage in a light walk for 10-15 minutes after eating cake. Physical activity can help your muscles use some of the excess glucose in your bloodstream.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your cake, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Control Portion Size

Limit your portion of cake to a small piece to reduce the total amount of sugar intake.

Choose Dark Chocolate Cake

If possible, opt for a cake that uses dark chocolate, which may have a lesser impact on blood sugar compared to milk chocolate.

Berries as a Side

Add a small serving of berries, like strawberries or raspberries, to your cake. Their natural sweetness and fiber can help balance the sugary dessert.

Monitor Timing

Avoid eating cake on an empty stomach or as the first item of a meal. Have it as part of or after a balanced meal to slow sugar absorption.
