Cheesecake with Fruit (1 Piece (1/12 Of 9 Inches Dia))

Choose a smaller slice of cheesecake and avoid seconds; eat it slowly and stop when satisfied.

Have the cheesecake after a balanced meal containing protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy fat rather than on an empty stomach.

Choose a fruit topping such as berries, cherries, apple slices, pear, orange, or kiwi, and keep the portion modest; avoid syrupy fruit toppings and sweet sauces.

Skip sweet drinks, juice, and alcohol with dessert; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea or coffee instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating to help your body use circulating glucose.

Consider sharing the dessert or saving half for later, and limit extra toppings such as caramel, chocolate sauce, cookie crumbs, or whipped sweetened cream.
