How to consume Falafel sandwich without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consider eating smaller portions of the falafel sandwich. You could eat half a sandwich and save the rest for later.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add more high-fiber vegetables like lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, or tomatoes to your sandwich. The additional fiber can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Protein

Include a source of lean protein alongside your meal, such as grilled chicken or fish. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats Addition

Add a small portion of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. Fats can help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grain

If possible, choose a whole-grain pita or wrap for the sandwich to replace white bread, which can help reduce the glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or some form of physical activity after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Meal Timing

Eat your falafel sandwich as part of a balanced meal at regular intervals rather than on an empty stomach to minimize spikes.

Mindful Chewing

Take your time to chew your food thoroughly, which can help with digestion and managing blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar readings after consuming the falafel sandwich to understand the impact and make necessary dietary adjustments.
