How to consume english indian sweet pongal without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the amount of pongal you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help moderate your blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein such as a small serving of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts alongside your pongal.
Incorporate Fiber
Add vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or a small side salad to your meal to increase fiber intake, which can help slow down glucose absorption.
Healthy Fats
Pair your pongal with foods rich in healthy fats like avocado slices, a few olives, or a sprinkle of chia seeds to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after eating pongal. Proper hydration can help with glucose metabolism.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, prepare pongal using whole grains like brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice to reduce the glucose spike.
Limit Added Sugars
Reduce the amount of jaggery or other sugars in the pongal recipe. Use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit as alternatives.
Combine with Exercise
Engage in a light physical activity such as a walk after eating pongal to help your body use up some of the glucose from the meal.
Frequent, Smaller Meals
Instead of eating a large portion of pongal at once, consider breaking it up into smaller servings throughout the day.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating pongal to understand how it affects you personally and make adjustments accordingly.

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.
