How to consume chocolate cake (with chocolate frosting), ice cream without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of chocolate cake and ice cream you consume. Smaller portions will lead to a smaller rise in glucose levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content for the cake. It generally contains less sugar compared to milk chocolate.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate foods like berries or chia seeds into your dessert. These can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or Greek yogurt, alongside your dessert to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Balance with Healthy Fats

Pair your dessert with healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of nut butter to help moderate glucose spikes.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after eating your dessert. Proper hydration can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your dessert to help lower blood sugar levels.

Timing Matters

Eat your dessert after a balanced meal that includes protein, fiber, and healthy fats, rather than on an empty stomach, to minimize glucose spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel more satisfied with smaller portions and improve digestion.

Consider Alternatives

Occasionally, use alternatives like fruit-based desserts, which may have a lower impact on blood sugar levels compared to traditional chocolate cake and ice cream.
