How to consume Falafel, Hummus, Pita Bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of falafel, hummus, and pita bread to manage the overall intake of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include a variety of leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grain Pita

Choose whole grain or whole wheat pita bread instead of white pita to increase fiber content.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal to promote satiety and help moderate blood sugar rises.

Include Lean Protein

Add a protein source such as grilled chicken or tofu to your meal, which can help balance the carbohydrates and maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during the meal to aid in digestion and help control appetite, reducing the tendency to overeat.

Limit Added Sugars

Avoid falafel or hummus that contain added sugars or sweeteners. Prepare homemade versions to control ingredients.

Use Olive Oil

Drizzle a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil over your salad or meal to add healthy fats, which can slow digestion.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal, which can help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in light physical activity like walking after meals to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
