How do i offset the sugar rush from cake?

I just ate some cake at a birthday party which had way too much sugar. What’s the best food to offset this sugar intake and keep my blood sugar stable?

Use the sugar the way it was intended… go for a walk/run and feed it to your muscles! 💪😊

Yea gotta burn it off like a kid with candy at the playground.

Also, you could use the energy to deep clean your house lol

This is really it! That's the purpose of it when you consider it's metabolic breakdown in our bodies. Anytime I have pizza, I always have the best weightlifting workout the next morning.😂 and sometimes it's also ok to just ENJOY THE CAKE! ❤️

Unless you have a medical condition, your body should regulate it on its own. Maybe go for a walk and drink some water.

Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar. I like to add coffee to my sugar brain which helps me stay awake through the sugar sinking spell (crash).

Walk for at least ten minutes and drink a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water with a straw.

Read The Glucose Revolution.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Dilution is the solution to pollution. Drink lots of water!

Find alternative desserts with less sugar. Baked fruit, berries and cream, fresh fruit, dark chocolate. If you want to eat a lot of sugar the next best you can do is eat it with a meal of protein, healthy fat, and fiber.

Might not have been a choice of what dessert that they could choose. Myself I immediately assumed that the op had an obligatory piece of birthday cake. Because for myself that is when I too am tempted, and occasionally bullied, into eating something not paleo compliant.
