How to consume Bagel With Cream Cheese, Smoked Salmon without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain

Choose a whole grain or multigrain bagel instead of a traditional white bagel. Whole grains are digested more slowly, resulting in a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Add Fiber-Rich Sides

Pair your bagel with fiber-rich sides, such as a small salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. This can help slow digestion and reduce glucose spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meal, such as a small serving of avocado slices. Healthy fats can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Portion Control

Consider eating only half a bagel or choosing a smaller-sized bagel to reduce carbohydrate intake, and balance it with more protein or healthy fats.

Include Protein

Ensure that your meal includes a good amount of protein beyond the smoked salmon, such as a side of eggs or Greek yogurt, to promote satiety and moderate blood sugar levels.

Balance Your Meal

Add vegetables like spinach or lettuce to your bagel sandwich to increase volume and nutrient intake without significantly increasing carbs.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Be Mindful of Timing

Consider eating your bagel as part of a balanced breakfast or lunch, rather than as a late-night snack, as metabolism can be slower later in the day.

Monitor Your Portions of Cream Cheese

Use a thin layer of cream cheese to reduce the fat content without compromising flavor.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a walk, to help your body use up glucose more effectively.
