Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Turkish Delight

Metabolic Effect: Turkish Delight rapidly raises blood sugar due to its high sugar content, causing a sudden energy spike. This can lead to fluctuations in insulin levels and contribute to weight gain in the long term.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming Turkish Delight alone, consuming it with fibrous and protein-rich foods can balance blood sugar. For example, you can consume it with a few nuts or a small piece of cheese.
Things to Consider: A handful of Turkish Delight (approximately 5-6 pieces) can meet a significant portion of your daily sugar needs and lead to excessive calorie intake. Diabetics and those who want to maintain weight control should be especially careful.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from Turkish Delight, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 40 minutes or run at a brisk pace for 20 minutes. This may be an exercise you need to add to your daily activity routine.
