Dietitian's Tips for Consuming McDonald's Blackberry Sundae
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it rapidly raises blood sugar levels and increases insulin secretion. This can cause you to feel hungry again quickly and experience energy dips. The lactose in it may cause digestive problems in some people.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, consuming it with a fibrous food (e.g., a handful of nuts or a few slices of whole wheat bread) can help balance blood sugar. It is important to pay attention to portion control.
Things to Consider: One bowl of blackberry sundae has approximately the same calories as 2 slices of baklava. It is important for individuals with diabetes to be careful when consuming this dessert and limit their portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from this dessert, you need to walk briskly for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, swimming or cycling for 20 minutes can give similar results.
