How to consume beef stew with potatoes and gravy without glucose spikes
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more non-starchy vegetables to your stew, such as bell peppers, spinach, or broccoli. Fiber slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Portion Control
Reduce the amount of potatoes in your stew. Instead, use a smaller portion or replace some of the potatoes with lower-carb options like turnips or rutabaga.
Choose Lean Cuts
Opt for leaner cuts of beef to reduce the overall fat content, which can help with better blood sugar management.
Incorporate Legumes
Add beans or lentils to your stew. They are high in protein and fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Use healthy fats such as olive oil or avocado oil instead of butter or lard in your gravy to improve the stew's nutritional profile.
Mind the Gravy
Make a lighter and healthier gravy using a combination of broth and a small amount of whole grain flour or cornstarch as thickeners, avoiding highly processed thickening agents.
Balanced Meal
Pair your beef stew with a side of a leafy green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to add more fiber and nutrients.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood glucose levels.
Herbs and Spices
Enhance the flavor of your stew with herbs and spices like garlic, turmeric, and rosemary instead of relying heavily on salt or sugar-based seasonings.
Monitor Timing
Consider eating your beef stew as part of a balanced meal and monitor the time of day you consume it, as glucose tolerance can vary 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.
