You Bad Bad Bagel! 10/19/10
Jeff came home last night with leftover bagels from work (the really good kind). My plan for breakfast this morning was to have oatmeal, and until I tried one bite of his bagel, that was still my plan. However, after a bite I had to have one. What did I do to make it "less bad?" I cut it in half and scooped out a lot of the middle (the real bulk of the bagel), then I toasted it and put a "dusting" of cream cheese on. What's a dusting? Barely enough to see it, but enough to get the taste. Now I only feel half bad about the BIG BAD CARB BAGEL at breakfast. My plan for the rest of the day? Cut WAY back other carbs i.e., no bread at lunch, no rice at dinner. I'll just stick with protein, dairy and fruits and veggies (at least this is my plan)...oh, and drink lots of water (Mike :-)

If you're going to eat carbs, have them at breakfast (the balance of proteins and carbs with actually give you better energy levels as there will be no spike in energy...and then crash), and lunch. Bagels can be very high in fat as well. My suggestion if you want something healthy with some substance, try whole wheat toast with a "dusting" of natural peanut butter. Good carbs, good fat, good protein. However, my breakfast of choice is egg beaters, parm and/or provolone/mozz and a low carb whole wheat wrap. Keep it up. Every time I wanted to have a cigarette and said no...it was torture. You end up getting to a point where you just don't care anymore. Also, along with the water to satisfy any cravings...try gum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. We have peanut butter and I knew that was better than cream cheese, but Jeff also brought home veggie cream cheese and I wanted some.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you quit smoking? This year?
I can try gum, but sometimes the chewing gives me a headache.
Thanks for the advice.
I quit smoking a long time ago...just sharing experiences.
ReplyDeleteTell Jeff to leave the bagels and cream cheese at work.
