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

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of the chocolate cake to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Pair with Protein

Consume a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or a handful of almonds, alongside the cake to slow down digestion and reduce the spike.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like a small salad or a few slices of avocado with your meal to help balance blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for a cake made with dark chocolate, which typically contains less sugar and more cocoa, potentially reducing its impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating to help with digestion and glucose regulation.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 15-minute walk, after eating to help utilize glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to allow your body more time to respond to the food and prevent overconsumption.

Whole Grain Accompaniments

If consuming other foods with the cake, opt for whole grains like quinoa or barley which release glucose more slowly.

Nuts and Seeds Topping

Add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds on top of the cake to increase the meal's protein and healthy fat content.

Limit Sugary Beverages

Avoid pairing the cake with sugary drinks to prevent an additional source of glucose elevation.
