Chocolate Cake (with Chocolate Frosting) (1 Piece (1/8 Of 18 Oz Cake))

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

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

Pair the dessert with plain Greek yogurt or a small handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, instead of ice cream, whipped sweet toppings, or a sugary drink.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help your muscles use circulating glucose.

Choose water, sparkling water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee with the cake; skip soda, juice, sweet coffee drinks, and alcohol mixers.

For future occasions, choose a thinner slice with less frosting or make a version using almond flour, unsweetened cocoa, and a non-sugar sweetener.
