How to consume Candy without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume candy along with a source of protein or healthy fats such as nuts, cheese, or yogurt. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating candy. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods such as vegetables, legumes, or whole grains in your meal to help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Limit the quantity of candy you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

If possible, opt for dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content, as it generally contains less sugar and more beneficial compounds.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity like a brisk walk after eating candy to help your body utilize the sugar more effectively.

Plan Your Meals

Structure your meal to include balanced macronutrients. Start with a salad or a vegetable dish before indulging in candy.

Chew Slowly

Eating candy slowly and savoring each piece can help you feel satisfied with less, potentially reducing intake.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to better understand how candy affects you and adjust your consumption accordingly.

Consider Alternatives

Explore candy alternatives made with natural sweeteners or those specifically designed for reduced sugar impact.
