Cheesecake (1 Piece (1/6 Of 17 Oz Cake))

Reduce the cheesecake portion—try a half slice or share one—and eat it slowly.

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

Pair a small serving with a handful of almonds or walnuts to help slow digestion.

Choose plain Greek yogurt with a few berries as an alternative dessert or as part of a smaller cheesecake serving.

Avoid sugary drinks, sweet coffee beverages, and fruit juice with cheesecake; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help moderate the post-meal rise.
