How to consume Chicken Shawarma without glucose spikes
Pair with Vegetables
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or cucumbers to your meal. These can help slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include a source of healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or seeds. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Opt for Whole Grains
If your shawarma includes bread, choose whole-grain or whole-wheat pita over white. This adds fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Balance with Protein
While chicken already provides protein, you might consider adding a small portion of hummus or Greek yogurt to further balance your meal and aid in maintaining stable blood sugar.
Hydrate with Water
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Engage in Light Activity
A short walk after eating can help your muscles use some of the glucose from your meal, which can decrease blood sugar levels.
Mind Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the portion size of your shawarma. Reducing the amount consumed at once can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Add Fiber-Rich Sides
Consider having a small side of lentils or beans. The fiber content in these foods can help mitigate blood sugar spikes.
Include a Citrus Element
Adding lemon juice to your shawarma can enhance flavor and may also help moderate blood sugar rises due to its acidic nature.
Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly
Taking your time to chew and savor your food can aid digestion, giving your body a chance to better manage blood sugar levels.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
