How to consume Taco Salad without glucose spikes
Increase Fiber Intake
Add ingredients like black beans or chickpeas to your taco salad. They are high in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate avocado or a small amount of nuts such as almonds or walnuts. These healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grains
Use whole-grain tortilla chips or whole-grain tortillas if you include chips or wraps in your salad. They break down more slowly in the body.
Add Vegetables
Increase the amount of leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, and include more non-starchy vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.
Choose Lean Proteins
Include lean protein sources like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu, which can help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Be mindful of the portion sizes, particularly of higher carbohydrate components like tortilla chips or rice, to avoid excessive glucose spikes.
Vinegar-Based Dressings
Use a dressing with vinegar, such as a light vinaigrette, which may help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar response.
Balanced Meals
Ensure your meal is balanced with a good mix of protein, fat, and fiber alongside carbohydrates to slow down digestion and absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, which can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat, enjoying each bite. This can help in better digestion and absorption of nutrients, potentially reducing glucose spikes.

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