Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sweetened Plain Cake

  • Metabolic Effect: Sweetened plain cake can rapidly raise blood sugar levels due to its high carbohydrate and sugar content. This can lead to sudden fluctuations in insulin levels and subsequent rapid hunger.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming the cake alone, consuming it with a protein and fiber-containing beverage or snack (e.g., milk or yogurt) can help balance blood sugar. This way, you can stay full longer.
  • Things to Consider: One slice of sweetened plain cake can contain approximately the same calories as 2-3 slices of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to portion control and avoid frequent consumption. Those who want to control their weight should be especially careful.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one slice of sweetened plain cake, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes. This is an activity you can easily do during the day.
