How to consume Arabic food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of high-carb dishes like rice and bread. Smaller portions can help minimize glucose spikes.

Incorporate More Vegetables

Add a variety of non-starchy vegetables to your meal, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy greens. They help slow down the absorption of carbs and provide essential nutrients.

Choose Whole Grains

Instead of refined grains, choose whole grains like bulgur or whole wheat pita. They are digested more slowly, leading to steadier blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Proteins

Include lean proteins such as grilled chicken, fish, or chickpeas. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full longer.

Use Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like olive oil or avocado in your meals. They can slow down digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Opt for Low-Carb Dips

Instead of sugary or high-carb dips, choose options like hummus or baba ghanoush, which are made from chickpeas and eggplants respectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. This can help with digestion and control hunger, preventing overeating.

Add Nuts and Seeds

Sprinkle nuts or seeds such as almonds or sesame seeds on your dishes. They provide healthy fats and proteins that help manage glucose levels.

Limit Sugary Desserts

If you want dessert, opt for fresh fruits like berries or apples, which have a slower impact on blood sugar compared to traditional sugary sweets.

Chew Slowly and Eat Mindfully

Take your time to eat slowly and savor each bite. Mindful eating can improve digestion and help you recognize when you're full, reducing the likelihood of overeating.
