How to consume vegan taco salad without glucose spikes
Choose Whole Grains
Opt for whole grain or corn-based taco shells and tortillas, as they release glucose more slowly compared to refined grains.
Incorporate Beans and Legumes
Use black beans, chickpeas, or lentils as your primary protein source. These foods have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your salad to help moderate glucose absorption.
Increase Fiber Content
Incorporate high-fiber vegetables like leafy greens, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers to slow digestion and glucose release.
Limit High-Carb Toppings
Avoid excess corn, rice, or high-carb dressings. Instead, use salsa or a homemade dressing made with olive oil and lime juice.
Use Non-Starchy Vegetables
Fill your salad with non-starchy vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, and mushrooms that have a minimal impact on blood sugar.
Add a Protein Boost
Include plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh to help balance blood sugar levels throughout the meal.
Mindful Portion Sizes
Pay attention to portion sizes, especially for ingredients that are higher in carbohydrates, to prevent overconsumption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water or unsweetened herbal teas before and during your meal to aid digestion and maintain hydration.
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
Take your time eating to allow your body to properly process the meal and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

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