How to consume date and walnut cake without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the date and walnut cake you consume. Even a small reduction can help mitigate the spike.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein with your cake, such as a handful of almonds or a serving of Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, like a few slices of avocado or a small serving of chia seeds. Fats can help moderate the release of glucose into your bloodstream.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate foods high in fiber, such as a serving of lentils or a salad with leafy greens. Fiber helps to slow digestion and the release of sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating your cake. Staying hydrated helps your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Engage in Light Exercise

Take a brisk walk for 10-15 minutes after eating. Physical activity can help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Try Apple Cider Vinegar

Consider drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in a glass of water before your meal. This can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Choose a Healthier Cake Recipe

Next time you bake, try modifying the date and walnut cake recipe to include whole grains or a sugar substitute like stevia.

Monitor Timing

Eat your cake as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to slow down sugar absorption.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew each bite thoroughly. This simple step can aid digestion and help control blood sugar spikes.
