How to consume arabic maamoul pastries without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the number of maamoul pastries you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose spike.
Pair with Protein
Eat maamoul pastries alongside a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts. Protein helps slow down the absorption of sugar.
Incorporate Fiber
Add fiber-rich foods like a small salad, vegetables, or a piece of whole fruit (such as an apple or a pear) to your meal. Fiber slows digestion and reduces the rate at which sugar enters the bloodstream.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and with your meal. Water helps flush out excess glucose from your bloodstream.
Include Healthy Fats
Pair maamoul with foods rich in healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil, or a few almonds. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of sugar.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity such as a brisk walk for 15-20 minutes after eating maamoul. Exercise helps muscles use up glucose, lowering blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time when eating maamoul pastries. Eating slowly can help prevent large spikes in blood sugar by allowing your body more time to process the food.
Choose Whole Grains
When available, opt for maamoul made with whole-grain flour rather than refined flour. Whole grains break down more slowly in the body.
Monitor Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating maamoul to understand how your body reacts and adjust your intake accordingly.
Balance Meals
Ensure your overall diet is balanced with a variety of foods including lean proteins, healthy fats, and low-starch vegetables. This can help maintain stable blood sugar 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.
