How to consume cotton candy without glucose spikes

Hydrate Before and After

Drink a glass of water before consuming cotton candy and continue to hydrate afterward to help your body process the sugar more effectively.

Pair with Protein

Consume a small portion of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, alongside the cotton candy. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Eat a fiber-rich snack, like an apple or a small salad, before indulging in cotton candy to slow down sugar absorption.

Engage in Physical Activity

Take a brisk walk or engage in light exercise after eating cotton candy to help lower blood sugar levels.

Practice Portion Control

Limit your intake of cotton candy to a small portion to minimize the sugar spike.

Eat Mindfully

Focus on eating slowly and savoring each bite, which can help prevent overeating and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Choose a Balanced Meal Later

Plan your next meal to include lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of vegetables to maintain balanced blood sugar levels for the rest of the day.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body reacts to different amounts of cotton candy to understand your personal tolerance and adjust accordingly in the future.

Plan Ahead

If you know you'll be having cotton candy, adjust your meals earlier in the day to include more low-sugar, whole-food options to prepare your body for the sugar intake.

Consider a Sugar Substitute

When possible, opt for sugar-free or reduced-sugar alternatives to cotton candy that use natural sweeteners.
