How to consume hummus, toasted sour dough bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of both hummus and sourdough bread. Smaller portions can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, turkey slices, or a boiled egg to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado or a small handful of nuts. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Pair your meal with a side of fiber-rich vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumbers, or bell peppers. The fiber can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If possible, opt for whole grain or whole wheat bread instead of sourdough to increase fiber intake.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and slow down the rise in blood sugar.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try consuming your meal earlier in the day when your body's insulin sensitivity might be higher, helping to better manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Consider a short walk after eating to help your body use some of the glucose from your meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food and manage blood sugar levels better.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how your body responds and adjust your habits accordingly.
