How to consume Falafel, Hummus, Pita Bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of falafel, hummus, and pita bread you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help mitigate a glucose spike.

Add Vegetables

Pair your meal with non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, or a side salad. These can add fiber and volume to your meal without causing a significant glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grain Pita

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pita bread over refined versions. Whole grains contain more fiber, which can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. Healthy fats can slow digestion and the subsequent release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Include Protein

Add a lean protein source like grilled chicken or chickpeas to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydrate with Water

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain hydration, which can influence blood sugar levels.

Eat Mindfully

Chew slowly and savor each bite. Eating mindfully can improve digestion and help you recognize fullness cues, preventing overeating.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help with glucose utilization and reduce spikes.

Experiment with Legume-Based Falafel

Consider making or choosing falafel made with a variety of legumes, like lentils or black beans, to add diversity and potentially more fiber to your meal.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after meals and adjust your food combinations and portions based on your observations.
