How to consume Chocolate chip cookie without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of chocolate chip cookies you consume. Instead of having multiple cookies, try to enjoy just one small cookie to satisfy your craving with less impact on your blood sugar.

Pair with Protein

Consume a source of protein like a handful of nuts, a hard-boiled egg, or a small piece of cheese when eating a cookie. Protein can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like a small apple, carrot sticks, or a few berries. Fiber can help reduce the spike by slowing down the digestion process.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after you eat to help your body process sugar more effectively and maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after consuming the cookie to help your muscles use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Savor each bite of the cookie by eating slowly and mindfully. This can help you feel more satisfied with a smaller portion and prevent overeating.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for chocolate chip cookies made with dark chocolate, which typically contains less sugar than milk chocolate and may have additional health benefits.

Try Homemade Versions

Make your own cookies using ingredients like whole-grain flour and natural sweeteners. This allows you to control the sugar content and include healthier ingredients.

Space Out Carbohydrate Intake

If planning to have a cookie, try to avoid consuming other high-carbohydrate foods around the same time to prevent compounding effects on blood sugar levels.
