How to consume Chocolate Covered Doughnut (Cake Type) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Incorporate a source of protein when consuming your doughnut, such as a handful of nuts or a small serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Pair the doughnut with a high-fiber food like an apple or a pear. Fiber can aid in moderating blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before and after eating. Hydration can help with digestion and the body's ability to manage sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit the size of the doughnut portion you consume. Consider sharing it or saving half for later to reduce the immediate sugar load.

Timing Matters

Consume the doughnut after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fat, like avocado or a few slices of cheese, which can help slow digestion and the release of sugars.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Slow down and savor your treat, eating it gradually. This can help prevent overeating and give your body more time to process the sugar.

Limit Added Sugars

Ensure that other meals throughout the day are low in added sugars to avoid compounding effects on your blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body responds to different strategies and adjust accordingly for optimal results.
