How to consume Cake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of cake you consume to a small portion to minimize the spike in blood sugar levels.

Precede with Fiber

Eat a high-fiber food before consuming cake. Foods like a small salad, apple slices, or a handful of almonds can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Pair the cake with a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or a small piece of cheese, to help moderate glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before and after eating cake to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If available, opt for cakes made with whole grains or alternative flours, which may lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like a few avocado slices or a spoonful of nut butter alongside your cake to slow sugar absorption.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Save cake for post-meal dessert rather than as a snack. Consuming it with a balanced meal may lessen the impact on blood sugar.

Use Spices

Cinnamon can help stabilize blood sugar levels. Consider sprinkling a little cinnamon on your cake.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite of your cake to prevent overeating and allow your body time to process the sugar.
