Frosted Sweet Cinnamon Bun (1 Small)

Eat a smaller portion—such as half the bun—and save the rest for later rather than eating it all at once.

Have the bun after a meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables, such as eggs with spinach or chicken with salad, instead of eating it on an empty stomach.

Pair it with a small serving of plain Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Avoid combining the bun with sweetened coffee, juice, soda, or other sugary foods; choose water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee instead.

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

Choose a less-frosted, smaller cinnamon bun when possible, or scrape off part of the frosting to reduce the sugar load.
