How to consume Salad lunch without glucose spikes
Include Healthy Fats
Add avocados, nuts, or seeds to your salad. These healthy fats can slow down carbohydrate absorption and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Lean Proteins
Add grilled chicken, tofu, or beans to your salad. Proteins take longer to digest and can help prevent rapid spikes in glucose.
Use Whole Grains
Instead of croutons or refined grains, add quinoa, barley, or farro to your salad. These whole grains are digested more slowly.
Opt for Non-Starchy Vegetables
Fill your salad with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumbers, and bell peppers. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.
Choose Low-Sugar Dressings
Use dressings that are low in sugar, or make your own using ingredients like olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and herbs.
Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients
Include fiber-rich foods such as chickpeas, lentils, and chia seeds in your salad to help slow down digestion and absorption of sugars.
Mix in Fermented Foods
Add a small amount of fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut. These can aid digestion and improve gut health, which may help in managing blood sugar levels.
Eat Smaller Portions
Consider eating smaller portions of your salad but more frequently throughout the day to avoid overwhelming your system with too many carbohydrates at once.
Hydrate Before Meals
Drink a glass of water before eating your salad. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel full sooner and may reduce the likelihood of overeating, which in turn helps manage glucose levels more effectively.

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.
