Chocolate Cream Filled Doughnut (1 Doughnut)

Have a smaller portion, such as half the doughnut, and save the rest for another day.

Eat it after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include protein and fiber such as eggs, chicken, lentils, or non-starchy vegetables.

Pair the doughnut with a small handful of almonds or walnuts instead of a sugary drink.

Choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee; avoid juice, soda, and sweetened coffee drinks alongside it.

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

If possible, choose a plain or less-filled doughnut, or substitute a small square of dark chocolate with plain Greek yogurt and berries.
