Falafel Wrap (1 Wrap)

Choose a lettuce wrap or a smaller whole-grain pita, and avoid oversized or white-flour wraps.

Ask for extra non-starchy vegetables such as salad greens, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, and pickles; reduce the amount of pita accordingly.

Have a side salad with olive-oil-and-lemon dressing before or alongside the wrap to slow absorption of the meal’s carbohydrates.

Keep sauces modest, especially sweet chili, ketchup, or sugary dressings; choose tahini, tzatziki, or plain yogurt-based sauce instead.

Limit the falafel wrap to half if it is large, and pair the remaining hunger with a salad or roasted non-starchy vegetables rather than fries.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help blunt the post-meal rise.
