How to consume Bagel With Cream Cheese without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the size of the bagel and use a smaller amount of cream cheese to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.
Choose Whole Grain Options
Opt for a whole grain or multigrain bagel, which is digested more slowly, resulting in a steadier release of glucose.
Add Protein
Pair your bagel with a protein source, such as eggs or a small serving of smoked salmon, to help moderate blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a few slices of avocado on top of the cream cheese for added healthy fats, which can lower the impact on blood sugar.
Incorporate Fiber
Eat a high-fiber fruit like berries along with your bagel, as fiber slows down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to aid in digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Engage in Light Exercise
Take a short walk after eating to help your muscles use up some of the glucose from your meal.
Choose a Smaller Bagel
Opt for a mini bagel instead of a regular-sized one to naturally reduce carbohydrate intake.
Monitor Your Timing
Have your bagel with cream cheese during or after a meal rather than on an empty stomach to lessen the impact on your blood sugar.
Experiment with Substitutes
Consider using a spreadable cheese made from nuts or seeds in place of regular cream cheese for additional nutrients and lower carbohydrate content.
