How to consume Greek food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes when enjoying Greek dishes like moussaka or souvlaki. Smaller portions can lead to a more manageable rise in glucose levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Add vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and bell peppers to your meal. These are high in fiber, which can help moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole grain options like barley or bulgur instead of refined grains. These are slower to digest and can help maintain more stable glucose levels.

Choose Lean Proteins

Incorporate lean proteins like chicken or fish, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and reduce glucose spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocados or olives to your meal. Fats can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, helping to control blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your meal. This can help you better recognize when you are full and prevent overeating, reducing the likelihood of a glucose spike.

Add a Salad

Start with a Greek salad containing tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives to add more fiber and healthy fats to your meal.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Avoid or minimize sauces and dressings with high sugar content. Instead, use lemon juice or olive oil for flavoring.

Post-Meal Activity

Consider a light walk after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently, mitigating spikes in blood sugar.
