How to consume Hummus (Commercial), Pita Bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of both hummus and pita bread. Eating smaller amounts can help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Pair your hummus and pita with a source of protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey slices. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Consider adding a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a few olives to your meal, which can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Whole Grain Options

Choose whole grain pita bread instead of refined versions. Whole grains digest more slowly, helping to prevent quick spikes in glucose levels.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a fiber-rich side like a green salad or raw veggies (e.g., cucumbers, bell peppers, or carrots). Fiber helps slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water with your meal. This can help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Eat your hummus and pita as part of a well-timed meal, avoiding times when you are extremely hungry, which might lead to overeating.

Opt for Homemade

Make your own hummus to control the ingredients, ensuring it contains less sugar and added oils compared to commercial versions.

Combine with Low-Carb Vegetables

Swap some pita with vegetables like zucchini or celery sticks for dipping, reducing the overall carbohydrate load while enjoying the flavors.

Physical Activity

Incorporate a short walk or some light exercise after meals to help utilize glucose more efficiently and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
