How to consume Taco without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods
Include fiber-rich vegetables like leafy greens, bell peppers, and tomatoes in your taco. Fiber can slow down the absorption of glucose, helping to reduce spikes.
Choose Whole Grain Tortillas
Use whole grain or whole wheat tortillas instead of white flour tortillas. These have a slower effect on blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate avocado slices or a small amount of nuts or seeds. Healthy fats can stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Opt for Lean Proteins
Fill your taco with lean proteins like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can help maintain a steadier blood sugar level.
Use Low-Sugar Salsas
Pick salsas and sauces that are low in added sugars. High sugar content can contribute to spikes.
Watch Portion Sizes
Limit the number of tacos you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help prevent large spikes in blood sugar.
Hydrate Properly
Drink plenty of water before and after eating. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Consider Vinegar
Adding a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice to your taco can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.
Avoid Fried Fillings
Skip fried taco fillings and opt for grilled or baked options to reduce unhealthy fats and simple carbohydrates.
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
Take your time eating to allow your body to properly digest and manage blood sugar levels.

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