Fruitcake (1 Piece) and Tea with Milk and Sugar (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz))

Have plain tea with a splash of milk and use a non-sugar sweetener, or no sweetener.

Choose a lower-sugar snack instead, such as plain Greek yogurt with a small handful of nuts.

Pair any sweet treat with protein and fat, such as cheese or nuts, rather than eating it alone.

Eat a fiber-rich meal first, such as vegetables, lentils, or beans, before having dessert.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating.

Keep the sweet portion small and avoid having it on an empty stomach.
