How to consume Chicken Shawarma, French Fries (In Vegetable Oil) without glucose spikes

Add More Fiber

Incorporate a side of vegetables like a green salad or steamed broccoli with your meal. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If possible, opt for whole grain or whole wheat pita for your shawarma instead of white pita bread. Whole grains digest more slowly and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the French fries and the pita bread to minimize the spike. Consider sharing or saving some for later.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats, such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil on your salad, to slow digestion and help prevent spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and to fill you up, reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Balance with Protein

Ensure your meal includes a good amount of chicken to balance the carbohydrates with protein, which can help stabilize blood sugar.

Eat Mindfully

Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal slowly, which can help in better digestion and absorption.

Physical Activity

Consider going for a short walk after your meal to help your body use up glucose more efficiently and reduce the spike.

Modify Cooking Methods

If making at home, bake the fries instead of deep-frying them to lower the fat content and change the type of oil to one with a healthier profile like olive oil.

Experiment and Monitor

Keep a food log to track how your body responds to different quantities and combinations of foods to find what works best for you in preventing spikes.
