How to consume Falafel, Mixed Salad Greens without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken or tofu with your meal. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to more stable blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a small handful of nuts. Fats can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Choose Whole Grains
If you're having falafel in a wrap, opt for a whole-grain or whole-wheat pita instead of white bread.
Eat Smaller Portions
Consider reducing the portion size of the falafel. Eating smaller amounts can prevent large spikes in your blood sugar.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more fiber-rich vegetables to your mixed salad greens, such as broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots. Fiber helps regulate blood sugar by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.
Hydrate Properly
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can help manage blood sugar levels.
Include Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar-based dressing to your salad. Vinegar has been shown to help moderate blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. This can aid in better digestion and more gradual absorption of nutrients, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Monitor Carbohydrate Intake
Be mindful of the other carbohydrate sources in your meal. Balance them with non-starchy vegetables and proteins.
Consider Timing
Try eating your falafel and mixed salad greens at a time when you can be physically active afterward. Light physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels post-meal.

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