How to consume italian seafood pasta without glucose spikes
Choose Whole Grain Pasta
Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of regular white pasta. These alternatives are digested more slowly, helping to prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
Mind Portion Sizes
Eat smaller portions of the seafood pasta to help manage your carbohydrate intake and avoid overwhelming your system with too many carbs at once.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, and bell peppers into your pasta dish. Fiber helps to slow down the absorption of sugars.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a moderate amount of healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, or a small serving of nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can help to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Consume Protein-Rich Foods
Ensure that the seafood in your pasta includes options like shrimp, mussels, or calamari, which are high in protein. Protein helps to slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Drink Water Before and During Meals
Drinking water can help you feel fuller faster and can also aid in the digestive process, making it less likely for a spike to occur.
Opt for Tomato-Based Sauces
Use tomato-based sauces instead of creamy or cheese-based sauces. Tomato-based sauces tend to have fewer carbohydrates and added sugars.
Monitor Meal Timing
Eat your meal at regular intervals and avoid having your pasta late at night. Consistent meal timings can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Legumes
Adding beans or lentils to your pasta can provide additional fiber and protein, further helping to moderate blood sugar spikes.
Practice Mindful Eating
Pay attention to your eating habits. Eat slowly and savor each bite, giving your body time to signal when it’s full, which can prevent overeating and subsequent glucose spikes.

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.
