How to consume candy sweets without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Include a source of protein or healthy fats, such as nuts, cheese, or yogurt, when enjoying candy. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Increase Fiber Intake

Consume fiber-rich foods like lentils, chickpeas, or vegetables with your sweets. Fiber can help delay the digestion and absorption of sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can aid in balancing blood sugar levels.

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the serving size of candy to minimize its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for a small piece of dark chocolate instead of other candies. Dark chocolate usually contains less sugar and has antioxidants that may offer additional health benefits.

Take a Walk Post-Consumption

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating sweets. This can help your muscles use up some of the sugar in your bloodstream.

Regular Meal Timing

Maintain a consistent eating schedule with balanced meals to help stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the day.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your glucose levels before and after eating sweets to understand how your body responds and adjust your habits accordingly.

Limit High-Carb Meals

Avoid pairing candy with other high-carbohydrate foods. Instead, balance your meal with proteins and vegetables.

Mindful Eating

Pay attention to what and how much you are eating. Savor a smaller amount of candy to satisfy your craving without overindulging.
