Fruitcake (1 Piece)

Have a smaller slice of fruitcake, and avoid a second serving.

Eat fruitcake after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair it with plain Greek yogurt or a small handful of almonds or walnuts to slow absorption.

Add a high-fiber side such as berries, an apple, or chia seeds mixed into yogurt.

Avoid sweet drinks, juice, or additional desserts with the fruitcake; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

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