\"\"<\/a>Here is another surprise for you — cream cheese.\u00a0 You probably thought it was the cream cheese on the bagel that was adding the inches to your waistline.\u00a0 Actually, it was the bagel!\u00a0 Cream cheese is on the green-for-go list. \u00a0Click here to learn about the Green Light\/Red Light eating plan.<\/a> The fat and dairy components make it slow to digest and so gives a slow sugar release into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n

It has a glycemic number of zero.\u00a0 That\u2019s right — zero.<\/p>\n

It does, however, have 9 grams of fat and about 100 calories in a one-ounce serving. That\u2019s about two tablespoons or so.\u00a0 You won\u2019t want to eat the whole block of cream cheese in one sitting!<\/p>\n

However, you can use those two tablespoons to stuff some celery sticks and have a filling, tasty snack in the mid-morning or mid-afternoon.\u00a0 Very crunchy and filling — and it\u2019s still about a 100 calorie snack.\u00a0 Don\u2019t like celery?\u00a0 Eat your cream cheese on fruit.\u00a0 You\u2019ll add a few more calories that way, but it can still fit in your overall plan. \u00a0 You can also use cream cheese in recipes to add flavor and richness.<\/p>\n

Another option if you are having trouble keeping your calories within range — try the low fat cream cheese or the whipped variety.<\/p>\n

Eating the low glycemic way isn\u2019t restrictive and isn\u2019t hard to do.\u00a0 There are plenty of good things to eat, and you can do it for the rest of your life. Check back tomorrow for another surprise low glycemic food.<\/p>\n

Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/em>
