How to consume Arabic food without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole grain flatbreads like whole wheat pita or whole grain couscous instead of white rice or white bread.

Include More Vegetables

Incorporate a variety of non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, and eggplant into your meals. Dishes like tabbouleh or a fresh salad can be great additions.

Choose Lean Proteins

Include lean protein sources like grilled chicken, fish, or lentils. Protein helps moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing down digestion.

Use Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats to your meals, such as olive oil, avocados, or a small portion of nuts. These can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of portion sizes, particularly with carbohydrate-rich dishes like hummus and falafel. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels.

Start with a Salad

Begin your meal with a salad or a broth-based soup, which can create a feeling of fullness and prevent overeating of higher-carb dishes.

Limit Sugary Desserts

If you have a sweet tooth, try fruits like berries or a small slice of watermelon instead of traditional sugary desserts.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal instead of sugary drinks or juices, which can contribute to blood sugar spikes.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can help you recognize when you're full and prevent overeating.

Incorporate Beans and Legumes

Foods such as chickpeas, lentils, and fava beans are excellent additions to your meals, providing fiber and protein to stabilize blood sugar.
