How to consume Chicken Shawarma without glucose spikes
Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce to your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Choose Whole-Grain Wraps
Opt for whole-grain pita or wraps instead of white bread to accompany your chicken shawarma.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add sources of healthy fats such as avocado or olives to your shawarma. Healthy fats can slow down digestion and reduce spikes.
Portion Control
Be mindful of the portion size of the chicken shawarma. Eating smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels.
Add a Side Salad
A side salad with leafy greens and a vinegar-based dressing can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal to help with digestion and blood sugar management.
Protein Balance
Ensure that the meal has a balance of protein, not just from the chicken but also from plant-based sources like chickpeas or lentils in a small side dish.
Limit Added Sugars
Be cautious with sauces and dressings that may contain added sugars. Opt for homemade or low-sugar options.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat. Eating more slowly can help in better digestion and can reduce the likelihood of a glucose spike.
Monitor Carbohydrate Intake
Keep an eye on the total amount of carbohydrates in your meal, including any sides like rice or bread, and try to keep it balanced.

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