How to consume Chicken Shawarma, Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chicken shawarma and hummus to moderate your carbohydrate intake.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with a side of leafy greens or a salad with vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli, which can help slow down glucose absorption.

Protein Addition

Include a portion of lean protein, such as grilled fish or chickpeas, to balance the meal and provide sustained energy.

Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, such as avocado or a handful of nuts, to your meal. This can help slow down digestion and moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If your shawarma is served with bread, choose whole grain or whole wheat options instead of white flour wraps to enhance fiber intake.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control appetite.

Timing of Meals

Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day rather than large meals to avoid significant glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your muscles use up some of the glucose.

Slow Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to signal when it is full, which can prevent overeating and reduce glucose spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different foods and adjust your meal composition accordingly to reduce spikes over time.
