How to consume Gold Standard Whey Protein without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods
Incorporate foods high in fiber such as oats, lentils, or chia seeds to slow down digestion and glucose absorption.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a source of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive oil. These can help to moderate the absorption of sugars.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Consume vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, or bell peppers alongside your protein shake. These are low in carbs and high in fiber.
Use a Smaller Serving
Reduce the portion size of the whey protein to lessen the potential spike.
Drink Water
Hydrate well before and after consuming your protein shake to help with digestion and reduce potential spikes.
Add a Source of Protein
Combine your whey protein with additional protein sources such as eggs, cottage cheese, or tofu. This can help in slowing down the absorption of glucose.
Opt for Whole Grains
If you consume carbs with your whey protein, choose whole grains like quinoa, barley, or brown rice in small portions.
Avoid Sugary Additives
Ensure there are no added sugars in your protein shake or in the foods you consume with it. This includes avoiding sugary fruits and sweeteners.
Consume Probiotics
Include probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt (without added sugar) or kefir to aid digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Exercise
Engage in light physical activity like walking or stretching after consuming your protein shake. This can help in managing glucose levels.

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