French Mille Feuille (1 Pastry)

Have a smaller portion of mille-feuille, ideally after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, a handful of almonds or walnuts, or a boiled egg.

Add fiber-rich sides such as berries, chia seeds, or a small serving of lentils earlier in the meal.

Avoid sweet drinks, juice, or additional desserts alongside it; choose water, unsweetened tea, or coffee instead.

Eat slowly and avoid going back for seconds, as a single moderate serving is easier to manage.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
