How to consume Chia Seeds without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the amount of chia seeds you consume in one sitting. Even healthy foods can cause spikes if eaten in large amounts.
Pair with Protein
Combine chia seeds with a source of protein like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Protein helps to moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Mix chia seeds with nuts or seeds such as almonds, walnuts, or flaxseeds. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add chia seeds to a dish with high-fiber vegetables like spinach, kale, or zucchini. Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when consuming chia seeds, as they can absorb water and expand, helping to slow digestion.
Avoid Sugary Additions
Skip adding sugar or sweetened products to your chia seed dishes. Opt for natural sweeteners like berries, which have lower sugar content.
Eat Smaller, More Frequent Meals
Rather than consuming a large meal with chia seeds, eat smaller portions more frequently to keep blood sugar levels stable.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of how your body responds to different portions and combinations with chia seeds, adjusting as needed.
Exercise Regularly
Physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and aid in maintaining blood sugar levels. A walk after meals can be particularly beneficial.
Choose Whole Foods
When adding chia seeds to your diet, combine them with other whole foods like oats, quinoa, or brown rice.

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.
