How to consume english quinoa salad without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add lean protein sources like grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to your salad to slow down glucose absorption.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds (e.g., chia seeds or flaxseeds) to your salad.
Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, bell peppers, or broccoli to increase fiber content and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose a Light Dressing
Use dressings made from vinegar or lemon juice and olive oil, avoiding sugary or creamy dressings.
Smaller Portions
Reduce the portion size of quinoa in your salad and increase the portion of vegetables and proteins.
Eat Slowly
Chew your food thoroughly and eat at a moderate pace to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and metabolism.
Pre-Meal Snack
Consider a small pre-meal snack like a handful of almonds or a small apple to moderate your body's insulin response.
Add Herbs and Spices
Use herbs and spices such as cinnamon, turmeric, or garlic to enhance flavor without adding sugars.
Monitor Your Timing
Eat your meal at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals, which can cause larger spikes.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
