Start by reducing the portion size of couscous in your meals. Smaller servings can help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.

Pair couscous with vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots. These vegetables can slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate sources of healthy fats, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds, to your couscous dish. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add lean protein sources such as chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes. Protein can help mitigate blood sugar spikes by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Use a vinegar-based dressing with your couscous salad. The acidity can help reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are converted into glucose.

Drink water before or during your meal to aid digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

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

Pay attention to the timing of your meals and try to eat at regular intervals to maintain consistent energy levels and blood sugar control.

Under-cook the couscous slightly to keep it firmer, as this can lower the impact on blood sugar compared to fully cooked couscous.

Practice mindful eating by slowing down and savoring each bite. This can aid in better digestion and blood sugar management.
