How to consume Chicken Shawarma, Mixed Salad Greens without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of the Chicken Shawarma to keep the overall carbohydrate intake lower.

Add Fiber

Incorporate more fiber-rich vegetables in your mixed salad greens, such as broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds (e.g., chia seeds, flaxseeds) in your salad to further slow digestion.

Whole Grain Options

If the Chicken Shawarma is typically served with bread, choose whole-grain pita or flatbread options.

Vinegar-Based Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing on your salad, like balsamic vinaigrette, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Protein Boost

Add a small amount of another protein source, such as a boiled egg or a handful of legumes, to your meal to promote satiety and slow carbohydrate absorption.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help control blood sugar levels.

Chew Slowly

Take your time eating, as thoroughly chewing your food can help with better digestion and a slower release of glucose.

Pre-Meal Snack

Have a small, balanced snack (such as a few almonds or a piece of cheese) about 20-30 minutes before your meal to help moderate the subsequent spike in blood sugar.

Meal Timing

Avoid consuming the meal late at night; eating earlier in the evening can help with better metabolic control.
