How to consume portuguese shawarma, potato french fries without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of shawarma and fries you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall impact on your glucose levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a side of vegetables, such as leafy greens or a small salad, to your meal. Foods like broccoli, spinach, or kale can help slow down the digestion process.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado or nuts to your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for a whole grain or whole wheat wrap for your shawarma to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal, which can help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity

Take a short walk after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively and reduce spikes.

Include Protein

Add a side of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, which can help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can aid in digestion and give your body time to properly process the meal.

Snack Wisely

If you know you'll be eating a carb-heavy meal, have a small, low-carb snack beforehand, like a handful of almonds or a small apple with nut butter, to prepare your body for the meal.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating to understand how your body reacts and adjust your habits accordingly.
