How to consume chocolate cake (with chocolate frosting), ice cream without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of chocolate cake and ice cream you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or some Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like vegetables, whole grains, or a small apple. Fiber slows the digestion process, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Combine your dessert with healthy fats from sources like avocado, olives, or a small amount of olive oil. This can help moderate the glucose response.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking a glass of water before and after eating your dessert. Proper hydration can aid in the digestion and metabolism of sugars.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after consuming the dessert. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels.

Timing Matters

Consider having your dessert after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach. This can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Alternative Sweeteners

Opt for homemade versions of your favorite desserts using lower-sugar or natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel more satisfied with smaller portions and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

Monitor and Adjust

Use a glucose monitor to check your blood sugar levels before and after eating desserts. This can help you understand how different foods and combinations affect your glucose levels and adjust accordingly.
