How to consume hummus, falafel, lentils, sourkraut without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of hummus, falafel, lentils, and sauerkraut you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Pair with Fiber-rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale to your meal. The added fiber can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These can slow the absorption of sugars and help keep glucose levels stable.

Incorporate Protein

Pair your meal with a lean protein source such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can help reduce the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're consuming grains alongside these foods, opt for whole grains like quinoa or barley, which digest more slowly and help maintain steady glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water before and during your meal can aid in digestion and help control blood sugar spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. Taking your time to eat can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Balanced Meals

Ensure that your meals are well-balanced with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fiber to help stabilize blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after meals to help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar responses to different meals and adjust your food choices and portions accordingly.
