Garlic Bread (1 Small Slice (2 1/2 Inches X 2 Inches X 1 Inches))

Reduce the portion of garlic bread; start with one small slice and avoid refills.

Choose garlic bread made with dense whole-grain, sourdough, or high-fiber bread rather than white French bread.

Eat it alongside protein and non-starchy vegetables, such as grilled chicken, eggs, tofu, salad, broccoli, or zucchini, instead of eating it alone.

Add healthy fats in modest amounts, such as olive oil, avocado, nuts, or seeds, and avoid sugary dips or sweet drinks with the meal.

Have the garlic bread after your vegetables and protein, rather than as an appetizer on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.
