How to consume date, sweet chocolate candies without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume a source of protein such as a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt, or a cheese stick alongside your sweet treats to slow down sugar absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add foods like avocado, almond butter, or a small slice of cheese to your snack to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as whole grain crackers, apple slices, or carrot sticks to help slow glucose absorption.

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of date and chocolate candies consumed in one sitting to manage sugar intake better.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after consuming sweets to help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity like walking for 10-15 minutes after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.

Choose Dark Chocolate

Opt for dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, which generally contains less sugar than milk chocolate.

Eat Balanced Meals

Ensure your meals throughout the day include a balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep glucose levels stable.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, which can help you enjoy smaller amounts and prevent overconsumption.

Timing Matters

Consume sugary treats after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to mitigate glucose spikes.
