Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Sweetened Walnut Cake

Metabolic Effect: Sweetened walnut cake rapidly raises blood sugar due to its sugar and simple carbohydrate content. While the walnuts provide some fiber and healthy fats, the overall effect is a quick increase in blood sugar.
Consumption Recommendation: When consuming this cake, eating foods containing protein and fiber (e.g., a glass of milk or a handful of almonds) can help ensure a more balanced rise in blood sugar. Portion control is important.
Things to Consider: One slice of walnut cake may contain as much fat as about 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil. Therefore, individuals, especially those aiming to control their weight, should be cautious.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one slice of walnut cake, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40-45 minutes. Alternatively, 20-25 minutes of brisk running can provide the same effect.
