Magic Breakfast #2


Typical Breakfast
1 toasted large plain bagel with 2 tablespoons jam or jelly
12 ounces (341 ml) French vanilla coffee beverage

Total GL: 46
Total calories: 612

Magic Breakfast
1/2 toasted large whole wheat bagel with 1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 medium apple
1 cup coffee or tea

Total GL: 17
Total calories: 275

The Fixes
  • Substituted a whole grain bagel for the white flour bagel for more fiber and a lower GL.
  • Cut the bagel portion in half to limit carbs.
  • Added peanut butter as a filling source of protein and “good” fat to add back calories without increasing the GL.
  • Replaced the high-calorie, high-GL coffee beverage with plain coffee or tea.

These newsletters used to be so easy to read in adobe acrobat. Now you have to keep your email open to get back to the letter to check each link separately. This one article had to be clicked 3 times for different information. I get this for my diabetic mother, and have to dig through it all to find new info to pass on. Now it's so time consuming. Regarding the recipes, they make obvious sense. Reduce the white bread goup, eat less bread, reduce the sugar. Remove the jam+syrup= same,
