How to consume salad with broccoli, carrot, tomato, zucchini, spinach, soya without glucose spikes
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds (like chia or flaxseed) to your salad. Healthy fats can slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Protein
Add a lean protein source to your salad, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas. Protein can help reduce the glucose spike by slowing carbohydrate absorption.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add more high-fiber vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers. Fiber can help slow the absorption of sugars, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels.
Choose a Low-Sugar Dressing
Opt for a salad dressing with minimal added sugars. Consider making your own with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs to control the ingredients.
Add Whole Grains
If you want to add a grain, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley in small quantities. They can provide sustained energy and reduce the rapid rise in blood sugar.
Mind Portion Sizes
Monitor the portion sizes of higher carbohydrate vegetables like carrots and tomatoes. Keeping these in moderation can help manage your overall carbohydrate intake.
Balance with a Low-Carb Vegetable
Increase the amount of low-carb vegetables like spinach or zucchini in your salad to balance the carbohydrate content of other ingredients.
Enhance with Herbs and Spices
Use herbs and spices like basil, dill, or cinnamon to enhance flavor without adding sugar or carbs, potentially impacting glucose levels positively.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water alongside your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your body's response to different salad combinations and adjust the ingredients and proportions as needed to find 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.
