How to consume Greek Salad without glucose spikes
Add More Fiber
Incorporate extra vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli. These are low in carbohydrates and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include a Protein Source
Add grilled chicken, tofu, or boiled eggs to your salad. Protein helps to moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Use Whole Grains
If you enjoy adding croutons or some form of grain to your salad, opt for quinoa or brown rice instead of white bread or refined grains.
Healthy Fats
Include avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts such as almonds or walnuts. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the amount of starchy vegetables or high-carb ingredients like chickpeas you include in your salad.
Vinegar-based Dressings
Choose dressings with vinegar, such as balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar, as they can help lower blood sugar.
Minimize Added Sugars
Avoid dressings and toppings that contain added sugars. Opt for natural flavor enhancers like lemon juice or herbs.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat your salad. Eating slowly helps your body digest food more gradually, leading to a more moderate increase in blood sugar.
Drink Water
Ensure you drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.
Exercise Post-Meal
Light physical activity after eating, such as a walk, can help your body use up the glucose from your meal more efficiently.

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