How to consume Poha - dry homemade poha without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein to your poha, such as boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or Greek yogurt. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds. A sprinkle of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a handful of almonds can be beneficial.
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Mix in non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes. These add fiber which helps in moderating blood sugar levels.
Use Whole Grains
If possible, opt for a version of poha made with whole grains or mix a small portion of whole grains like quinoa or barley into your poha.
Portion Control
Be mindful of your portion sizes. Eating smaller amounts more frequently can reduce spikes.
Hydrate Adequately
Drink water or unsweetened beverages alongside your meal. Proper hydration can aid in better digestion and metabolic control.
Add Legumes
Include a small amount of legumes such as chickpeas or lentils to your poha. These are rich in protein and fiber.
Consume with Yogurt
Eating poha with a side of plain unsweetened yogurt can add beneficial probiotics and protein.
Stay Active Post-Meal
Engage in light physical activity like a walk after eating to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Experiment with Spices
Incorporate spices like cinnamon or fenugreek, which have been shown to help in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

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