Hummus (1 Tbsp) and Toasted Sour Dough Bread (1 Medium Slice)

Reduce the bread portion (for example, use one smaller slice) and keep the hummus serving moderate; spread it thinly rather than adding a thick layer.

Add protein and fat to the meal, such as a boiled or poached egg, plain Greek yogurt, or avocado, to slow absorption.

Eat the hummus with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, bell pepper, celery, radishes, or leafy greens, and use less bread.

Have the vegetables and protein first, then eat the bread and hummus afterward rather than starting with the toast.

Choose a denser, whole-grain sourdough with visible intact seeds or grains, and avoid sweetened or very fluffy sourdough varieties.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe and practical for you.
