How to consume portuguese shawarma without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like lentils, beans, or chickpeas into your meal to slow down glucose absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or olive oil to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for whole-grain wraps instead of refined flour options for your shawarma.

Include Vegetables

Add a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables, such as leafy greens, cucumbers, or tomatoes, to increase volume and nutrients without spiking blood sugar.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the shawarma and combine it with a side salad or a vegetable-based soup.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help regulate metabolism and aid digestion.

Add Vinegar

Use vinegar-based sauces or dressings, such as a vinaigrette, which may help in lowering glucose response.

Walk Post-Meal

Consider a short walk after eating to help utilize the glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food and signal fullness, which can help prevent overeating.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals throughout the day to maintain stable blood sugar levels and avoid large spikes.
