How to consume Espresso Coffee, Poha without glucose spikes
Add Protein and Healthy Fats
Incorporate a source of protein and healthy fat with your meal. Consider adding a handful of nuts or seeds, such as almonds or chia seeds, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for a Smaller Portion
Reduce the portion size of poha to limit the carbohydrate intake, and therefore, the glucose spike.
Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add fiber-rich vegetables to your poha, such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers, which can slow down the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream.
Drink Water Before Eating
Have a glass of water before your meal. This can help slow down the digestion process and prevent rapid glucose absorption.
Choose Whole-Grain Poha
If available, opt for whole-grain or brown poha, which have a slower release of glucose compared to the regular version.
Include Fermented Foods
Adding a small portion of fermented foods like yogurt or kefir can improve gut health and moderate blood sugar levels.
Avoid Sugary Additions
Skip adding any sweeteners or sugary accompaniments to your espresso or poha.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat your meal slowly. This helps regulate the release of glucose and provides a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.
Exercise Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help lower blood glucose levels.
Monitor Your Caffeine Intake
Consider reducing the amount of espresso you consume or opt for a lower-caffeine option to prevent a sharp rise in blood sugar.

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