How to consume arabic kushari without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of Kushari to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more vegetables to your meal. Consider incorporating a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to increase fiber, which can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as a small serving of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal to help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Add Protein

Include a protein source, like grilled chicken or boiled eggs, with your Kushari to slow digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa in the Kushari, as they are less likely to cause a rapid rise in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew your food slowly and thoroughly, which can aid digestion and help in preventing rapid increases in blood sugar.

Balanced Meal Planning

Pair your meal with a small portion of yogurt or a glass of milk, as the proteins and fats in dairy can help balance carbohydrate digestion.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by focusing on your meal and eating without distractions, which can help you recognize fullness cues and prevent overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, for 10-15 minutes after eating to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.
