Toasted Sour Dough Bread (1 Medium Slice)

Keep the sourdough portion smaller, such as one thin slice, and avoid adding sugary spreads.

Top the toast with eggs, avocado, or natural peanut butter to slow absorption.

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, tomatoes, or cucumber, rather than fruit juice or sweetened drinks.

Choose a denser, whole-grain sourdough or pumpernickel-style bread when available; check that it contains substantial whole grains and little added sugar.

Eat the toast as part of a balanced meal rather than by itself, and start with protein or vegetables first.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after eating if this is safe and practical for you.
