Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Garlic Bread
Metabolic Effect: Garlic bread, due to its high carbohydrate and fat content, rapidly increases blood sugar levels and can trigger insulin resistance. Although the garlic it contains is known for its antioxidant properties, the other ingredients in the bread may reduce this benefit.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming garlic bread alone, it is healthier to consume it with foods containing protein and fiber. For example, it can be consumed with a bowl of yogurt or a salad with plenty of greens.
Things to Consider: One slice of garlic bread is equivalent to approximately 2 slices of bread. It is important for those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions. In addition, the high amount of fat and salt it contains can pose a risk to heart health.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from garlic bread, it is necessary to walk at a moderate pace for about 60 minutes. Alternatively, 30 minutes of brisk running can provide the same effect.
