How to consume sweet or dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your chocolate intake to small portions to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Eat chocolate alongside a source of protein, like a handful of nuts or a serving of Greek yogurt, to slow down the absorption of sugar.

Incorporate Fiber

Combine chocolate with high-fiber foods such as berries or oats to help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for chocolate with a higher cocoa content, as it generally contains less sugar than milk chocolate.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming chocolate to help your body process sugar more efficiently.

Add Healthy Fats

Pair chocolate with healthy fats, such as avocado or a small serving of nut butter, to slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Be Active

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating chocolate to help your body use up the glucose more effectively.

Mind the Timing

Consume chocolate as part of a well-balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize its impact.

Consider Alternatives

Try chocolate-flavored snacks with lower sugar content or those sweetened with natural alternatives like monk fruit or stevia.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body responds to different types and amounts of chocolate to better manage future consumption.
