How to consume Homemade - Daal Chawal (Red Lentil With Rice) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of the rice in your daal chawal meal. Smaller servings of rice will help in moderating the spike.
Add Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, and bell peppers into your meal. These vegetables are low in causing blood sugar spikes and add fiber, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Opt for Whole Grains
Substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa. These alternatives are less likely to cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
Include Protein
Add a portion of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg. Protein helps in balancing blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of nuts (almonds, walnuts) in your meal. Healthy fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Use Less Oil
When preparing daal, use a minimal amount of oil and opt for healthier oils like olive oil.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before eating. Physical activity can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Drink Water
Drink a glass of water before your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in the digestion process and help manage blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and savor your food. Eating at a slower pace can help you feel fuller sooner and prevent overeating.
Herbs and Spices
Use spices like turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon in your daal. These spices have shown potential in aiding blood sugar management.

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