How to consume Indian Food - Onion Pakoda without glucose spikes
Incorporate Protein-Rich Foods
Pair your onion pakoda with a side of Greek yogurt or paneer to help moderate the rise in glucose levels.
Add Fiber
Include a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes as a side dish to increase fiber intake, which can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Use Whole Grain Ingredients
If making onion pakoda at home, consider using chickpea flour (besan) instead of refined flour, as it has a slower impact on blood sugar levels.
Choose Healthy Cooking Methods
Opt for baking or air-frying the pakoda instead of deep-frying to reduce the overall fat content and its potential impact on blood sugar.
Drink Water Before Eating
Consuming a glass of water before your meal can help you feel fuller and may reduce the amount of food you consume, thereby lessening the glucose spike.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small serving of nuts or avocado to your meal, as healthy fats can help slow down the digestion process.
Practice Portion Control
Be mindful of the amount of onion pakoda you eat. Eating smaller portions can help prevent a large spike in glucose levels.
Opt for Low-Sugar Beverages
Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal teas, or a glass of buttermilk to accompany your meal.
Timing of Consumption
If possible, eat your onion pakoda earlier in the day when your body is more insulin-sensitive, which can help manage glucose levels better.
Stay Active Post-Meal
Take a short walk or engage in light physical activity after eating to help your body use up the glucose and prevent a spike.

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.
