How to consume Sugared Or Glazed Doughnuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats when you consume doughnuts. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar. Consider having a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or a serving of Greek yogurt alongside your doughnut.

Opt for Whole Grains

When possible, choose whole grain versions of doughnuts or pair them with a small portion of whole grain bread or crackers to add more fiber to your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating a doughnut. Hydration can help manage blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for more sweets.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods such as berries, chia seeds, or a small apple with your doughnut. These foods can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Limit Portion Size

Consider consuming a smaller portion, such as half a doughnut, to minimize the glucose spike while still satisfying your craving.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming a doughnut. This can help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Choose Timing Wisely

Have your doughnut as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help buffer the glucose spike.

Opt for Lower-Sugar Variants

When available, select doughnuts with less sugar or those sweetened with alternatives like stevia or monk fruit.

Mindful Eating

Eat your doughnut slowly and mindfully to enhance satiety and decrease the desire for additional sugary foods.

Monitor Responses

Keep track of how your body responds to different types of doughnuts and adjust your choices accordingly to find what works best for you.
