How to consume basmati rice (dry), mixed vegetables (corn, lima beans, peas, green beans, carrots) (no salt added, canned) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the quantity of basmati rice in your meal. Smaller portions can lead to a smaller glucose spike.
Mix with Protein
Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils. Proteins slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats such as avocado slices, olive oil, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts to your meal. Fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers to your mixed vegetables. Fiber slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Pre-Meal Salad
Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Eating vegetables first can slow the increase in blood sugar levels.
Cook Rice with Beans
Mix basmati rice with beans such as black beans or kidney beans. The combination of the two can lower the overall impact on your blood sugar.
Use Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar-based dressing to your vegetables or salad. Vinegar can aid in reducing post-meal spikes.
Choose Whole Grains
If feasible, substitute some of the basmati rice with whole grains like quinoa or barley. These have a less significant impact on blood sugar.
Drink Water
Consume a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can help control blood sugar levels.
Avoid Sugary Drinks
Refrain from drinking sugary beverages with your meal, as they can cause additional glucose spikes.
Stay Active
Take a short walk for about 15-20 minutes after eating. Physical activity helps lower blood sugar levels.
Cook Rice with Less Water
When cooking basmati rice, use a little less water. This can make the rice less fluffy and more starchy, which has a slower glucose release.
Pre-cook and Cool Rice
Cook your basmati rice in advance and cool it before eating. Cold rice forms resistant starch, which can lower the glucose spike.

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