How to consume Americano Coffee, Poha without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Include a source of protein in your meal. For example, you could add a boiled egg or some Greek yogurt alongside your Poha.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add some healthy fats such as a few nuts (almonds, walnuts) or seeds (chia seeds, flaxseeds) to your meal. This will help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables
Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes in your Poha. These can add fiber and nutrients without causing a large spike in glucose levels.
Portion Control
Monitor the portion size of your Poha. A smaller portion will have less impact on your glucose levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If possible, opt for a version of Poha made with whole grains rather than refined grains for a slower release of glucose.
Limit Added Sugars
Avoid adding sugar to your Americano coffee. If you need sweetener, consider using a small amount of a natural alternative like stevia.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. This can help your body process glucose more efficiently.
Include Fiber
Add fiber-rich foods such as berries (like a small serving of strawberries or blueberries) to your meal. They can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Mind the Caffeine
While Americano coffee itself doesn’t have a direct impact on glucose, too much caffeine can impact insulin sensitivity. Moderation is key.
Timing of Meals
Consider the timing of your meals. Eating smaller, more frequent meals can help maintain more stable glucose levels throughout the day.

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.
