How to consume sweet or dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of chocolate you consume in one sitting to prevent a significant increase in blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Eat a small amount of nuts like almonds or walnuts along with your chocolate. The protein and healthy fats can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber

Consume chocolate with a fiber-rich food such as berries or an apple. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing digestion.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for chocolate with a higher cocoa content (70% or more). It generally contains less sugar compared to milk chocolate.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Practice eating mindfully by savoring the taste and texture of the chocolate. This can help you feel satisfied with a smaller portion.

Balanced Meal

Incorporate chocolate as part of a balanced meal that includes vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. This combination can help stabilize blood sugar.

Timing

Consider eating chocolate at times when your body is better equipped to handle a sugar load, such as after a meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity after consuming chocolate. A short walk can help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how different types and amounts of chocolate affect your glucose levels and adjust your intake accordingly.
