How to consume oatmeal cookies without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of oatmeal cookies you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can result in a smaller glucose response.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as a boiled egg, a small handful of nuts, or Greek yogurt with your cookies. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber

Consume foods high in fiber alongside your cookies, like a small apple or a few carrot sticks. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating to help your body process the sugar more efficiently.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or some form of gentle exercise after eating to help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Avoid eating oatmeal cookies on an empty stomach or as your first meal of the day. Having them after a balanced meal can help mitigate spikes.

Choose Whole Grains

If you make your oatmeal cookies, consider using whole-grain oats or adding chia seeds or flaxseeds for additional nutrients.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the sugar, and help you feel satisfied with less.
