How to consume Hummus, Pita Bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the amount of pita bread consumed in one sitting. Consider eating smaller portions to manage glucose levels more effectively.

Fiber Addition

Incorporate more fiber-rich foods like a small side salad with leafy greens or cucumber slices to help slow down the digestion process and stabilize glucose levels.

Protein Pairing

Add a protein source such as grilled chicken, turkey slices, or a handful of nuts to your meal to help balance the carbohydrates from the hummus and pita bread.

Whole Grain Alternatives

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pita bread instead of refined varieties to help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Non-Starchy Vegetables

Replace some of the pita bread with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, celery, or carrots for dipping to reduce overall carbohydrate intake.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite, which can contribute to better digestion and glucose management.

Healthy Fats

Include some healthy fats such as avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil, which can help moderate the digestion of carbohydrates.

Meal Timing

Consider having your hummus and pita bread as part of a balanced meal rather than as a standalone snack to help manage glucose levels more effectively.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water with your meal to assist with digestion and help prevent rapid increases in glucose levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help improve insulin sensitivity and manage post-meal glucose levels.
