How to consume Cake With Or Without Icing without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of cake you consume. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.

Pair with Protein

Eat a source of lean protein like chicken, fish, or tofu alongside your cake. Protein can help slow down the digestion process and moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, or avocado. These fats help slow carbohydrate absorption and stabilize blood sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose cakes made with whole grain flours, which digest more slowly than refined flour.

Add Fiber

Incorporate a high-fiber side, like a small salad with leafy greens, or consume fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli or carrots beforehand to slow down sugar absorption.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and with your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.

Exercise Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after eating cake to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Timing of Consumption

Eat the cake as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own to mitigate sharp glucose spikes.

Sweetener Alternatives

When possible, opt for cakes made with natural sweeteners like stevia or erythritol, which have less impact on blood sugar.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and savor each bite to help your body process the sugar more gradually.
