Chocolate Glazed Eclairs (Custard Filled) (1 Eclair (5 Inches X 2 Inches X 1 3/4 Inches))

Have a smaller portion—such as half an eclair—and save the rest for another time.

Eat the eclair after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, pairing it with protein and fiber such as plain Greek yogurt, almonds, or chia pudding.

Avoid having it alongside sugary drinks, juice, sweetened coffee, or other desserts; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help blunt the rise.

Add low-starch vegetables to the preceding meal, such as broccoli, spinach, peppers, or a salad with a protein source.

If possible, choose a smaller chocolate dessert with less pastry and filling, or split one eclair with someone.
