How to consume Chicken Shawarma, Hummus without glucose spikes

Incorporate More Fiber

Add a side of mixed greens or a salad with leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, or arugula. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of avocado or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grain Options

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

Add Protein

Enhance your meal with a side of grilled or roasted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or eggplant, which are lower in carbohydrates and can provide additional nutrients.

Moderate Portions

Pay attention to portion sizes, especially for the shawarma and hummus. Smaller portions can help control the rise in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Increase Physical Activity

After your meal, consider a light walk or some form of physical activity, as this can help lower blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues, which can prevent overeating.
