How to consume quick pongal without glucose spikes
Include High-Fiber Vegetables
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal. The fiber helps slow down glucose absorption.
Incorporate Protein
Have some lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes with your pongal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, prepare pongal with whole grains such as brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. Whole grains have a slower release of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Include a small portion of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. Healthy fats can help slow the digestion process.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Control Portion Size
Be mindful of your portion size. Consuming smaller portions can prevent a large spike in glucose levels.
Eat Slowly
Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. This can help you feel full sooner and reduce the likelihood of overeating.
Include a Salad
Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens and other vegetables. This can help fill you up and reduce the impact of the pongal.
Avoid Sugary Beverages
Skip any sugary drinks like soda or sweetened tea. Opt for water, herbal tea, or unsweetened beverages.
Physical Activity
Take a short walk after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

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.
