Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sesame Cake

Metabolic Effect: Sesame cake can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its sugar and fat content. This can cause sudden fluctuations in insulin levels and subsequent rapid hunger.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming sesame cake alone, consuming it with a drink containing protein and fiber (milk or buttermilk) can balance blood sugar. Choosing a small portion is also important.
Things to Consider: 1 slice of sesame cake contains approximately 2 slices of bread and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Therefore, especially diabetics and those who want to control their weight should be careful.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from sesame cake, it may be necessary to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes or run at a brisk pace for 15 minutes.
