How to consume portuguese shawarma without glucose spikes
Include More Fiber
Add a side of vegetables or a salad with your meal. Opt for leafy greens, broccoli, or roasted vegetables as they can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small serving of avocados, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion process.
Choose Whole-Grain Options
If possible, replace the regular pita or wrap with a whole-grain or whole-wheat version. Whole grains can help in reducing the rate at which glucose enters your bloodstream.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help in better digestion and may contribute to more stable glucose levels.
Control Portion Size
Eat smaller portions of shawarma to help prevent a large spike in glucose levels. Consider sharing your meal or saving half for later.
Include Protein-Rich Foods
Add a source of protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas, to your meal. Protein can help slow down digestion and reduce glucose spikes.
Consider Timing of Meal
Try eating your shawarma as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach. Having a small snack, like a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit, before your meal can help moderate your glucose response.
Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew each bite thoroughly. Eating slowly can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Physical Activity
Take a short walk after your meal. Light exercise can help your body use glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.
Monitor Your Body’s Response
Keep track of how your body responds to different foods and portion sizes. This can help you make more informed choices in the future.

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