How to consume Lemon Cake without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein and Healthy Fats
Pair your lemon cake with a serving of protein (such as Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts) and healthy fats (like avocado or a small amount of olive oil). This combination can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Eat Fiber-Rich Foods
Consume fiber-rich foods like vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach) or legumes (e.g., lentils, chickpeas) before indulging in lemon cake. Fiber can slow down digestion and help moderate blood sugar levels.
Hydrate with Water
Drink plenty of water before and after eating lemon cake. Staying hydrated can help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
Portion Control
Limit the portion size of your lemon cake. A smaller slice will result in a smaller glucose spike.
Add Cinnamon
Sprinkle some cinnamon on your lemon cake or into an accompanying beverage. Cinnamon has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming lemon cake. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
Eat Slowly
Take your time eating the cake. Eating slowly can give your body more time to process the sugar, leading to a more gradual rise in blood glucose levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, choose or make a lemon cake that includes whole grain flour. Whole grains can slow down the absorption of sugar.
Add Some Berries
Pair the lemon cake with a small serving of berries (like strawberries or blueberries). These fruits are lower in sugar and can add fiber, which helps in managing glucose levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Make sure to chew your cake thoroughly. This can aid in better digestion and a slower release of sugar into the bloodstream.

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.
