Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fruit Cake

Metabolic Effect: Fruit cake can quickly raise blood sugar due to its sugar and fat content. This is especially important for individuals with insulin resistance or at risk of diabetes. Although the fruits in it provide vitamins, the overall effect of the cake can cause a rapid fluctuation in blood sugar.
Consumption Recommendation: It is important to pay attention to portion control when consuming fruit cake. Consuming a fibrous drink (e.g., kefir or buttermilk) with it can help blood sugar rise more evenly. Also, preferring it as a snack instead of a meal can help keep daily calorie intake under control.
Things to Consider: A slice of fruit cake may contain calories equivalent to approximately one serving of dessert. Therefore, those who want to control their weight should pay attention to the amount of consumption. The dried fruits in it can also increase the sugar ratio.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories taken from fruit cake, it may be necessary to walk at a moderate pace for about 35-40 minutes or run at a light pace for 25-30 minutes. This helps balance the excess energy consumed and prevent weight gain.
