Cookie (1 Small) and Coffee with Milk and Sugar (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if it is safe for you; light movement can help muscles use circulating glucose.

Drink water or unsweetened tea/coffee rather than additional sweet drinks, and avoid adding more sugar for the rest of the snack period.

For the next meal, build a balanced plate with non-starchy vegetables, protein, and a high-fiber carbohydrate such as lentils, chickpeas, or steel-cut oats.

If you are still hungry, choose a small snack with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, a handful of nuts, or seeds, instead of another cookie.

Next time, have coffee without sugar or use less sugar, choose unsweetened milk, and pair a smaller cookie portion with nuts or plain yogurt rather than eating it alone.

Avoid trying to compensate by skipping meals; return to regular balanced meals and monitor your response if you use a glucose meter.
