How to consume Wheat Chicken Shawarma without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of the wheat chicken shawarma. Eating smaller amounts can help mitigate the spike in blood glucose levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add high-fiber vegetables like spinach, lettuce, or cucumber to your shawarma to slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Choose Whole Wheat Pita
Ensure the shawarma is made with whole wheat pita, which is less processed and can help reduce glucose spikes.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Protein-Rich Foods
Pair your meal with additional protein sources, such as a side of hummus or a boiled egg, to balance the meal and slow digestion.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before and after meals, to help your body better manage glucose levels.
Opt for a Side Salad
Accompany your shawarma with a side salad containing leafy greens, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette dressing to add more nutrients and fiber.
Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk after eating, to help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.
Monitor Your Meal Timing
Try to eat your shawarma as part of a balanced meal at regular intervals rather than eating it alone or as a snack.
Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly
Eating more slowly can aid digestion and allow your body time to process the carbohydrates more effectively.
