Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and Black Forest (Chocolate-Cherry) Cake (1 Piece (1/12 Of 3 Layer, 8 Inches Or 9 Inches Dia))

Have a smaller slice of cake and avoid seconds; save the remainder for another day.

Drink tea with less sugar or use a non-caloric sweetener, and gradually reduce the amount of added sugar over time.

Choose a lower-fat milk or unsweetened milk alternative for tea, and avoid pairing the cake with other sweet drinks.

Eat the cake after a balanced meal containing protein, vegetables, and fiber rather than on an empty stomach.

Add a protein- and fiber-rich side such as plain Greek yogurt, a small handful of nuts, or chia pudding to help slow absorption.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
