How to consume Chocolate cookie without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Consume chocolate cookies with foods high in fiber, such as apples, pears, or a handful of almonds. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, like a small serving of Greek yogurt or a few slices of turkey, when having chocolate cookies. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking a glass of water before or after eating cookies. Proper hydration can aid in metabolizing sugar more efficiently.

Portion Control

Limit the number of cookies you consume in one sitting. Consider enjoying just one cookie rather than multiple to minimize the spike.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for cookies made with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, as they typically contain less sugar and more beneficial compounds.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating cookies. This can help regulate blood sugar by using the glucose as energy.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and savor each bite of the cookie, which can lead to eating less and reducing the likelihood of a spike.

Substitute Ingredients

If baking cookies at home, try using alternatives like almond flour or oats and sweeten with a small amount of natural sweeteners, reducing overall sugar content.

Timing

Eat cookies as a part of a meal rather than as a standalone snack. This way, other foods can help buffer the sugar impact.

Monitor Your Body’s Response

Keep track of how your body responds to eating cookies by using a glucose monitor. This can help you make informed decisions about portion sizes and combinations in the future.
