How to consume hummus, falafel, lentils, sourkraut without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of hummus, falafel, lentils, and sauerkraut to manage your glucose levels better. Smaller portions can help mitigate the impact on your blood sugar.

Balanced Meal

Combine these foods with high-fiber vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers. Fiber can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats in your meal, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can help slow digestion and reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed.

Protein Addition

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vinegar

Consider adding a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to your dishes. The acidity can help lower the blood sugar response to a meal.

Hydration

Ensure you drink enough water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can assist in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating. This can help utilize the glucose from your meal more efficiently and prevent spikes.

Meal Timing

Try to eat your meals at regular intervals throughout the day. Avoid long gaps between meals to maintain consistent blood sugar levels.

Whole Grains

If you're consuming grains, opt for whole grain versions like quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and better regulate your blood sugar response.
