How to consume Lebanese food without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by moderating the portions of high-carbohydrate Lebanese dishes such as pita bread, rice, and hummus. Smaller portions will help manage glucose levels better.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate fibrous vegetables into your meals, like fattoush or tabbouleh salads, which can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain options when available, like whole wheat pita bread, to help reduce glucose spikes.

Include Protein

Incorporate lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, fish, or legumes like lentils, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Use healthy fats like olive oil or tahini in moderation to slow the absorption of carbs.

Be Mindful of Sauces

Limit the use of sweet or sugary sauces and dressings that can add hidden sugars to your meal.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated with water instead of sugary beverages, which can contribute to glucose spikes.

Slow Eating

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly, which can help in better digestion and slower absorption of sugars.

Snack Wisely

If you're snacking on Lebanese sweets, choose options with nuts or seeds and consume them in moderation.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Pay attention to how different Lebanese foods affect your blood sugar and adjust your choices accordingly.
