How to consume arabic maamoul pastries without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit your consumption of maamoul pastries. Try to enjoy them in moderation rather than having several in one sitting.
Pair with Protein
Consider eating a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt, or a hard-boiled egg, alongside the maamoul to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats into your meal, such as avocado slices or a small serving of olives, to help moderate the blood sugar response.
Fiber Addition
Pair the pastries with high-fiber foods like a small side salad or a serving of vegetables such as carrots or cucumber sticks.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after consuming the pastries to aid digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Timing of Consumption
Eat the maamoul as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize glucose spikes.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after eating the pastries to help your body utilize glucose more effectively.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for maamoul varieties made with whole grain flour, which can have a less significant impact on blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Focus on eating slowly and savoring each bite, which can improve digestion and lead to better blood sugar control.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of your blood sugar before and after consuming maamoul to understand how it affects you and make adjustments as necessary.
