How to consume Arabic Sweets - Kanafeh, Knefeh, Knefe, 86 g without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of the sweet treat. Instead of consuming 86 grams, try limiting your portion to a smaller amount to reduce the carbohydrate intake.
Pair with Protein
Consume a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a piece of grilled chicken, alongside your sweet. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Fiber
Incorporate high-fiber foods in your meal to help slow glucose absorption. Consider a small salad with leafy greens or a slice of whole-grain bread.
Drink Water
Have a glass of water before eating the sweet. This can help with satiety and ensure you’re less inclined to consume larger portions.
Timing
Avoid consuming sweets on an empty stomach. Instead, have them after a balanced meal that includes protein and fiber to moderate the glucose response.
Physical Activity
Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating the sweet. Physical activity can help lower blood glucose levels.
Alternative Sweeteners
Consider making or choosing versions of Kanafeh that use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit instead of traditional sugars.
Healthy Fats
Pair your sweet with a small serving of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado, nuts, or seeds. This can help moderate the glucose spike.
