How to consume Chicken Shawarma, Coffee With Milk without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the chicken shawarma to limit carbohydrate intake and overall calories.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions to your shawarma wrap. These add fiber which can help slow glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole wheat or whole grain wraps instead of white bread wraps for your shawarma. They digest more slowly and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Protein Balance

Ensure the chicken is grilled rather than fried, and consider adding a small serving of hummus or a side of chickpeas for additional protein and fiber.

Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of olive oil dressing in your meal to further slow down digestion.

Limit Sugars in Coffee

Reduce the amount of sugar added to your coffee. If possible, use a sugar substitute or drink it unsweetened.

Milk Alternatives

Consider using unsweetened almond milk or soy milk in your coffee as they usually have fewer carbohydrates than regular milk.

Drink Water

Consume a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to signal when it’s full.
