How to consume Fried Plantain without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit your intake of fried plantain to smaller portions. Moderation is key to managing blood sugar levels.
Pair with Protein
Pair fried plantain with a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or eggs. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or nuts. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber
Add high-fiber foods like vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers) to your meal. Fiber aids in slowing down the digestion process.
Eat Mindfully
Chew your food slowly and savor each bite. Eating slowly helps regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Use Healthier Cooking Methods
Instead of frying, consider baking or air frying plantains with a small amount of healthy oil.
Opt for Unripe Plantains
Use less ripe plantains, as they contain less sugar than fully ripe ones and can cause a smaller spike in blood glucose.

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.
