How to consume Shrimp And Pasta Garden Salad without glucose spikes
Choose Whole Grain Pasta
Opt for whole grain or low-carb pasta instead of regular pasta to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Increase Vegetable Content
Add more non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, bell peppers, and cucumbers, to your salad. These provide fiber and nutrients without spiking blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds (e.g., chia seeds, flaxseeds), to help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.
Use a Vinegar-Based Dressing
Choose or make a salad dressing with vinegar or lemon juice instead of creamy or high-sugar dressings. This can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity.
Pair with Protein
Ensure your meal has a good balance of protein by adding grilled chicken, tofu, or additional shrimp. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Be mindful of portion sizes, particularly with the pasta. Reducing the amount of pasta and increasing the proportion of vegetables can help maintain more stable blood sugar.
Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients
Incorporate beans or legumes, such as chickpeas or black beans, which are high in fiber and can help slow carbohydrate absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated helps your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Chew Slowly and Eat Mindfully
Taking your time to eat and chew thoroughly can aid digestion and help prevent a rapid spike in blood sugar.
Monitor Portions of Shrimp
While shrimp itself has little carbohydrate, ensure it is not heavily breaded or fried, which can add unnecessary sugars and carbs. Opt for grilled or boiled shrimp.

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.
