How to consume Carrot Cake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

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

Pair with Protein

Eat the carrot cake alongside a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese, to help slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Adding healthy fats like avocado slices or a small amount of nut butter to your meal can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If baking the cake yourself, use whole grain flour instead of refined flour to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods into your meal, such as a side salad with leafy greens or a serving of berries, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and may be used as a spice in your carrot cake or consumed alongside it.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk or engage in mild physical activity after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming the cake on an empty stomach. Eating it after a balanced meal can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Use Low-Sugar Options

Consider baking or choosing a carrot cake that uses natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, which have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
