How to consume Dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Eat Dark Chocolate in Moderation

Limit your portion size to a small piece to avoid a significant glucose spike.

Choose Chocolate with Higher Cocoa Content

Opt for dark chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa, as it generally contains less sugar.

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fat

Consume dark chocolate alongside foods rich in protein or healthy fats, such as nuts or a small serving of Greek yogurt, to slow down glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before or after eating dark chocolate to aid digestion and help regulate glucose levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate a small serving of fruits like berries or apple slices, or vegetables such as carrot sticks, to add fiber which can help stabilize blood sugar.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Go for a short walk after eating dark chocolate to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Space Out Your Consumption

If you crave more, spread out consumption over the day rather than eating it all at once.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of how your body responds to dark chocolate and adjust your approach as needed.

Try Dark Chocolate with Nuts

Choose dark chocolate varieties that already include nuts to benefit from the added protein and healthy fats.

Mindful Eating Practices

Take time to savor and enjoy each bite slowly, which can help with digestion and prevent overeating.
