Ladoo Round Ball (Asian-Indian Dessert) (1 Ball (1 3/4 Inches Dia))

Have a smaller portion—such as half a ladoo—and avoid having seconds.

Eat ladoo after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; include non-starchy vegetables, lentils or beans, and a protein source.

Pair it with a small serving of plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, or a handful of almonds or walnuts instead of sweet drinks or additional desserts.

Choose ladoo varieties made with besan, nuts, seeds, or coconut and with less added sugar; avoid versions made mainly with refined flour, syrup, or condensed milk.

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

If you monitor glucose, test your response to different portion sizes and recipes, since homemade and store-bought ladoos can vary substantially.
