How to consume Pongal - Pongal without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of Pongal you consume. Smaller quantities will help in minimizing glucose spikes.
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of protein with your meal, such as boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or a handful of nuts. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a few almonds to your meal. They can help in moderating blood sugar levels.
Pair with Vegetables
Include a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. Their fiber content can help slow carbohydrate absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Hydration supports better digestion and can help manage blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Whole Grains
If possible, make Pongal with whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice to improve the nutrient profile and reduce the impact on blood sugar.
Use Spices Wisely
Add cinnamon or turmeric to your Pongal. These spices have properties that can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after eating. Physical activity can help use up the sugar in your bloodstream and moderate spikes.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to digest and distribute glucose more evenly.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating Pongal and adjust your strategies accordingly based on what works best for you.

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