🧠 What Happens in Your Body When You Eat Kahk?

Eating kahk without weight gain starts with understanding your body.

Kahk is rich in sugar, fat, and refined flour. This combination leads to a rapid spike in blood sugar, followed by a crash.

This crash causes fatigue, cravings, and overeating.

⚠️ Why Do People Gain Weight During Eid?

Weight gain isn’t caused by kahk alone. It’s usually due to:

• Eating on an empty stomach
• Large portions
• Lack of movement
• Frequent snacking all day

The real issue is accumulation, not a single treat.

🍳 The Protein-First Rule

If you want to enjoy kahk without weight gain, start your day with protein.

• Eggs
• Greek yogurt
• Cottage cheese
• Vegetables

This helps slow sugar absorption and keeps your energy stable.

⚖️ The Ideal Portion Size

Portion control is the key to balance.

A smart serving includes:

• 1 piece of kahk
• 1 biscuit
• 1 petit four

This is a reasonable limit per sitting.

⏰ The Best Time to Eat Kahk

Avoid eating sweets on an empty stomach or late at night.

The best time is about 2 hours after a balanced meal.

🚶‍♂️ A Simple Habit That Changes Everything

Take a 10–15 minute walk after eating.

This helps:

• Improve digestion
• Reduce fat storage
• Stabilize blood sugar

☕ Drinks That Help After Eating Sweets

• Cinnamon: supports blood sugar balance
• Ginger: reduces bloating
• Water: essential for digestion

🍫 Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Eating sweets on an empty stomach
• Overeating
• Drinking sugary beverages with sweets
• Not drinking enough water
• Lack of physical activity
