How to consume Chicken Shawarma, Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Consider reducing the portion size of the chicken shawarma and hummus. Smaller portions can lead to smaller glucose spikes.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers into your meal. They provide fiber and nutrients while helping to moderate glucose levels.

Whole Grain Wraps

If possible, choose whole grain or whole wheat wraps instead of white bread or traditional pita. They generally have a slower effect on blood sugar levels.

Balance with Protein

Add a side of protein-rich foods like a small serving of grilled or baked fish or a hard-boiled egg. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. Fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating and chew thoroughly. This can aid in digestion and prevent rapid increases in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a brisk walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small, fiber-rich snack such as a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit like an apple before your meal to help moderate glucose spikes.

Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.
