How to consume Homemade - Spicy Pongal without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of Spicy Pongal to manage the carbohydrate intake and prevent a significant spike in glucose levels.
Protein Addition
Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, in your meal. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Fiber Boost
Add fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your Spicy Pongal. Fiber can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of olive oil in your meal. Fats can help reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.
Mixed Meals
Pair your Spicy Pongal with a salad or a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber or zucchini, to balance the meal and reduce glucose spikes.
Vinegar Addition
Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your meal. Vinegar has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Hydration
Ensure you are well-hydrated before eating. Drinking water before a meal can help control appetite and aid in better digestion.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This practice can help improve digestion and prevent overeating.
Post-meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to enhance glucose uptake by muscles and help lower blood sugar levels.
Monitor Timing
Consume your meals at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.

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