How to consume Red Velvet Cake without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the amount of red velvet cake you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will naturally reduce the sugar intake and its effect on your blood sugar levels.
Protein Pairing
Combine your slice of cake with a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a serving of Greek yogurt. Proteins slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Fiber Addition
Pair the cake with high-fiber foods like chia seeds, flax seeds, or a small serving of berries. Fiber can help mitigate the sugar spike by slowing down digestion.
Healthy Fats
Include some healthy fats in your meal, such as avocados or a small portion of cheese. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after consuming the cake. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, within 30 minutes of eating the cake. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
Timing
Eat the cake as a dessert after a balanced meal that includes protein, fiber, and healthy fats. This can help buffer the impact of the sugar on your blood sugar levels.
Monitor
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after consuming the cake to understand how your body reacts and make adjustments accordingly.
Opt for Alternatives
If available, choose a version of red velvet cake made with whole grain flour and natural sweeteners like stevia or erythritol, which can have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite of the cake. This can help you feel more satisfied with a smaller portion and may reduce the likelihood of overindulging.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
