How to consume Chicken Shawarma, Hummus without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-rich Vegetables

Add a generous portion of fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal. This can help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If your shawarma includes bread, opt for whole-grain or whole-wheat pita instead of white, as it digests more slowly.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a small amount of healthy fats such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Lean Proteins

In addition to the chicken, consider adding other sources of lean protein like beans or lentils, which provide additional nutrients and help keep you full longer.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of portion sizes, particularly of the hummus, as larger portions can contribute to higher glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your meal, as hydration can impact how your body processes food.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

A short walk after eating can help your body use glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat regular meals and avoid long gaps between them to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Add a Vinegar-based Dressing

Incorporate a salad with a vinegar-based dressing, as vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Try Pre-meal Snacks

Consider a small, healthy snack before meals, such as a handful of nuts, to help moderate glucose levels after eating.
