How to consume chai, english besan chilla without glucose spikes
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of protein to your meal, like a boiled egg or a small portion of cottage cheese. Protein helps slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.
Increase Fiber Intake
Include fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes into your besan chilla. This can help moderate your blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Spices
Use whole spices like cumin seeds and coriander seeds in your chai rather than relying solely on powdered spices. Whole spices often have a slower absorption rate.
Limit Sugar in Chai
Reduce the amount of sugar or use a natural sweetener like stevia. You can also use spices such as cinnamon and cardamom to add flavor without spiking sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate small amounts of healthy fats like avocado or nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) into your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the digestion process.
Use Low-Fat Milk
Prepare your chai with low-fat or unsweetened almond milk to reduce the overall carbohydrate content.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to help your body regulate sugar levels more efficiently.
Practice Portion Control
Be mindful of your portions. Even healthy foods can cause spikes if consumed in large quantities.
Meal Timing
Try eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than large meals. This can help maintain steadier blood sugar levels.
Light Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, like a 10-minute walk, after your meal to help your body use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream.

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.
