English Pasty (1 Pasty)

Eat a smaller portion of the pasty and avoid adding chips, sugary drinks, or dessert at the same meal.

Pair it with a protein-rich side such as eggs, grilled chicken, tuna, or plain Greek yogurt to slow digestion.

Add a large serving of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, green beans, peppers, or a leafy salad with olive-oil dressing.

Choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead of juice, soda, or sweetened coffee drinks.

Eat slowly and consider having the vegetables and protein before the pasty.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
