How to consume italian pasta with salmon without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the pasta and salmon to avoid overeating, which can contribute to glucose spikes.
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. These vegetables help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Opt for Whole Grain Pasta
Choose whole grain or whole wheat pasta over traditional white pasta. This type of pasta digests slower and helps maintain more stable blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado, or a small handful of nuts. These fats can help slow digestion and prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Incorporate a Side Salad
Start your meal with a fresh salad made with leafy greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Eat Protein-Rich Foods
If possible, add another source of lean protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken or tofu. Protein helps in slowing carbohydrate absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, as proper hydration helps in digestion and can moderate blood sugar levels.
Chew Thoroughly and Eat Slowly
Chewing your food thoroughly and eating at a slower pace allows your body more time to process the carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual increase in blood sugar.
Add Legumes
Incorporate beans or lentils into your meal. These foods are high in fiber and protein, which help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Monitor Cooking Time
Cook your pasta al dente (firm to the bite). Overcooked pasta has a faster absorption rate and can cause a quicker rise in blood sugar levels.

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