How to consume Bagel With Cream Cheese without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the size of your bagel and cream cheese serving to help minimize the glucose spike.
Whole Grain Option
Choose a whole grain bagel instead of a refined flour one, which is digested more slowly.
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of protein, such as a boiled egg or a few slices of turkey, to slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Incorporate Vegetables
Add some vegetables like avocado or tomato slices on top of your bagel for added fiber and nutrients.
Healthy Fats
Replace some or all of the cream cheese with healthy fat options like almond butter or hummus to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Drink Water
Pair your meal with a glass of water instead of sugary drinks to prevent additional sugar intake.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat, allowing your body to better manage the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Physical Activity
Engage in a short walk or light exercise after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
Try Vinegar
Consuming a small amount of vinegar or adding lemon juice to your meal can aid in reducing the blood sugar response.
Monitor Ingredients
Opt for a low-sugar variant of cream cheese or consider making your own spread with reduced sugar content.
