Can The Good Chocolate deliver a Zero Spike?

The Good Chocolate is teaming up with Tastermonial to bring you an exclusive Chocolate Experiment Kit that enables you to test how your body responds to our guilt-free, zero sugar chocolate using science-backed tools.

Ever wondered how your body reacts to what you eat? Personalization of health data is already well underway. Just think of the Apple or Garmin watches with heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring. Of course glucose monitors have been used by diabetics for years, but it seems like in the last few years, there’s a new surge of innovations in personal health monitoring and we at The Good Chocolate want to help you stay ahead of the curve.

Plus, upon completing your Chocolate Experiment Kit, you’ll get a $20 coupon for The Good Chocolate.

Why Should I Track My Blood Sugar?

Blood sugar levels are a window into your health. By monitoring how your body reacts to different foods in real time, you’ll be able to see how food impacts your blood sugar visually like this:

✅ Discover which snacks and treats keep your energy stable.

• High glycemic foods like white bread or sugary snacks can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar
• Low glycemic foods like whole grains or vegetables lead to slower, steadier increases

✅ Avoid sugar spikes that can leave you feeling tired or craving more sweets.

• Sugar crashes are really a biological phenomenon. The pancreas releases a lot of insulin to compensate for the high levels of glucose, sometimes more than needed, and this leads the body to absorb more glucose and blood sugar levels that are too low – this is called reactive hypoglycemia.

✅ Gain personalized insights to make smarter food choices.

• Everyone’s response to sugar is unique due to metabolism, activity level and insulin sensitivity.
• Identify foods and meals that work well for your body
• Avoid food that leads to undesirable sugar spikes or crashes.

 ✅ Support weight management goals

• Stable blood sugar levels can reduce hunger pangs and cravings, making it easier to stick to a balanced diet.
• Monitoring can show how specific eating habits contribute to overall weight control.

 ✅ Improve long-term health

• Consistently high blood glucose levels can increase the risk of complications like heart disease or neuropathy. Monitoring supports dietary adjustments that minimize these risks over time.

How does CGM Help People Improve their Health for the Better?

Real Life Examples:

#1 Sarah and Oatmeal

Sarah, a 35-year-old health-conscious professional, thought she was making a healthy breakfast choice by eating oatmeal every morning. Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), she discovered her fasting blood sugar typically started at 90 mg/dL. To her surprise, her favorite oatmeal, even when unsweetened, caused her blood sugar to spike to 180 mg/dL within an hour—a sharp increase of 90 mg/dL. This spike left her feeling sluggish and hungry shortly after.

Curious about alternatives, Sarah swapped her oatmeal for a Greek yogurt and berry parfait, which included protein and healthy fats. Her CGM showed a much gentler rise in blood sugar, peaking at 120 mg/dL—a modest 30 mg/dL increase from her baseline—and returning to normal smoothly. She also felt more energized and satisfied throughout the morning. The CGM helped Sarah identify and replace a food that wasn’t working for her, leading to a healthier and more stable routine.

“The CGM was a total game-changer for me. I always thought oatmeal was the perfect breakfast, but seeing how it spiked my blood sugar made me rethink everything. Now, I’ve found a breakfast that keeps me feeling energized and balanced, and I wouldn’t have known without the CGM showing me exactly what my body needed.”

#2 David and Smoothies

David, a 42-year-old runner, prided himself on eating a “clean” diet to fuel his active lifestyle. His fasting blood sugar was consistently around 85 mg/dL, and he assumed his daily smoothie—made with bananas, mangoes, and orange juice—was an excellent post-workout choice. However, his CGM revealed that the smoothie caused a sharp spike to 190 mg/dL—a 105 mg/dL increase—followed by a rapid drop that left him feeling tired and craving more sugar.

Determined to find a better option, David tried a smoothie made with spinach, unsweetened almond milk, a handful of berries, and a scoop of protein powder. His CGM showed a much more stable response, peaking at 120 mg/dL, just 35 mg/dL above his baseline, with no crash afterward. With this insight, David was able to replace a high-glycemic option with a balanced alternative that better supported his energy and recovery.

“I’ve always been mindful about eating clean, but the CGM opened my eyes to how even natural sugars were affecting me. I had no idea my smoothie was causing such a massive spike and crash. With the data from the CGM, I was able to make small changes that have made a big difference in my energy and performance.”
