How to consume Falafel, Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of falafel and hummus you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall intake of carbohydrates.

Eat with Non-Starchy Vegetables

Pair your meal with non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and broccoli. These vegetables are low in carbs and can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu, to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds, which can also slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

If you are consuming falafel in a wrap or with bread, opt for whole grain options like whole wheat pita or whole grain flatbread.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include fiber-rich foods like lentils, beans, or legumes in your meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and blood sugar management.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to register fullness and help prevent overeating.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you and make adjustments accordingly.
