How to consume Almonds, Medjool Dates without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Combine almonds and Medjool dates with a source of protein like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Fiber
Incorporate fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or a small portion of berries. Fiber helps to moderate blood sugar levels.
Smaller Portions
Reduce the quantity of Medjool dates in your snack. Since dates are naturally high in sugars, even a small reduction can help.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after consuming your snack. Proper hydration helps with better digestion and metabolism.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado or a small serving of olive oil alongside your snack. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of sugars.
Timing of Consumption
Avoid eating almonds and Medjool dates on an empty stomach. Instead, have them as part of a balanced meal to reduce their impact.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming your snack. Physical movement can help lower blood sugar levels.
Alternative Sweeteners
Consider using a smaller amount of Medjool dates and supplementing with other, less sugary alternatives like apple slices or pear slices.
Monitor Consistently
Keep track of your blood sugar levels regularly to understand how different portion sizes and combinations affect you, and adjust accordingly.
Spread Intake
Rather than eating all your almonds and dates at once, spread them out over several smaller snacks throughout the day to avoid a larger spike.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
