Tips on how to eat cake without gaining weight

1. Eat cake with sugar-free tea or lemonade

The cake itself is too high in fat and has a very low satiety index. After eating it, you will feel that it is not very big and you can still eat other things. Take a bite of cake, chew it carefully and then take two sips of tea or lemonade and swallow it slowly. This will allow the cake to expand in size in the stomach and increase your sense of fullness.

2. After eating cake, you must eat low-fat food to balance it

Considering that the main ingredients of cakes are sugar, saturated fat, eggs and flour, or cheese, nuts and the like, it is obvious that it is very easy to increase blood lipids and blood sugar, and a large amount of dietary fiber must be used to eliminate its adverse effects on health. At the same time, in order to metabolize large amounts of sugar and fat, a lot of B vitamins are needed. In this way, we can know that cake is suitable to be eaten with the following foods: various vegetables (except potato vegetables such as potatoes), fruits that are not too sweet, and whole grain porridge or bean porridge.

I gained weight after eating two kinds of cakes

1. Puff pastry

Puff pastry means a lot of fat has been added, which not only has a high fat content but also has low nutritional value. Under the current market conditions, what is usually added is vegetable shortening, which contains a large amount of trans fat. As high-energy foods, cheesecake is better because at least cheese contains a lot of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, B vitamins and protein, while shortening contains nothing but some trans fats.

2. Cakes with a lot of added pigments and flavors

The colors inside and outside the cake should be as close to the original color as possible. Except for a small amount of embellishment, it is best to avoid cakes with strong colors and flavors. Gentle and natural colors are best. Strong aromas usually mean that a lot of cheap flavors have been added.
