Arabic Ful Medames Fava Beans (100 G)

Reduce the ful portion and avoid eating it with large servings of bread, rice, or sweet drinks; start with a smaller bowl and assess your response.

Add protein and fat to the meal, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, tahini, or olive oil, to slow absorption.

Choose non-starchy vegetables alongside the ful, such as cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, peppers, or eggplant, and prioritize these before the beans.

Use lemon juice, vinegar-based salad dressing, garlic, and herbs for flavor instead of sweet sauces or added sugar.

If bread is part of the meal, keep the portion small and choose a dense whole-grain or sourdough option rather than white pita.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for you, to help blunt the post-meal rise.
