Eat a Bagel, Look Like a Bagel

Well, this is very simple and straightforward. You heard of the old adage, “you are what you eat”.

Today I would like to briefly talk about bagels.

I love bagels. I could probably eat a bagel and cream cheese everyday for breakfast. I could eat it for lunch and snack. I think I have had every type of bagel out there.

Let me preface that last statement by , “every bagel out there before age 30.

Then something funny happened along my way of bageldom after 30. I began to look like a bagel. Nice and round in the waist. I swear my wife was shrinking my pants. Today she still denies it.

Do I still enjoy a good bagel? You betcha. When was the last time I had a bagel? It is probably over two months ago. I decided that it was more important to eat foods lower on the glycemic index (foods that have immediate effect on your blood sugar). I also use a lot less cream cheese.

Take a look at your food consumption for two weeks in a row. Research glycemic index on the Internet and for the next two weeks eliminate only ONE high glycemic food product.

Good luck!
