How to consume Bagel With Cream Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the bagel. Consider eating only half a bagel or choose smaller-sized bagels.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole grain or multigrain bagels instead of refined white flour options. These are digested more slowly, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Pair the bagel with a source of protein such as eggs, turkey slices, or smoked salmon. Protein can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of nuts. These can help stabilize blood sugar.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods such as a small side salad or vegetables like sliced cucumbers or tomatoes. Fiber can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Control Cream Cheese Portion

Use a thin layer of cream cheese or opt for a low-fat version to reduce calorie and fat intake without sacrificing flavor.

Hydrate

Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help you feel full and may reduce the overall food intake.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can lead to better digestion and help prevent overeating.

Timing of Meals

Try to eat meals at consistent times each day to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise, like a walk, after eating to help your body use up glucose more effectively.
