How to consume portuguese shawarma, potato french fries without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the Portuguese shawarma and fries. Smaller portions can help manage the body's glucose response.

Balanced Meal Composition

Add a side of leafy greens or a mixed vegetable salad to your meal. Vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli can help stabilize glucose levels.

Protein and Fiber Boost

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or tofu and a fiber-rich food like chickpeas or lentils. These can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Healthy Fat Inclusion

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of nuts in your meal. These can help moderate the increase in blood glucose.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help your body process the food more effectively.

Slow Digesting Carbohydrates

Replace potato french fries with sweet potato or oven-baked root vegetables which tend to have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. This can help improve digestion and reduce the likelihood of overeating, which can affect glucose levels.

Meal Timing

Avoid eating large meals late at night. Aim to have your meal earlier in the day when your body is better able to process carbohydrates.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your body's response to different foods and adjust your meal choices accordingly. This personalized approach can help in reducing glucose spikes.
