How to consume americano coffee, date without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or a boiled egg alongside your coffee and dates. Protein can help slow down sugar absorption.
Add Fiber
Incorporate fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds into your meal. You could sprinkle them on yogurt (unsweetened) or add them to a smoothie.
Choose Whole Dates
Opt for whole dates instead of processed or chopped dates, as the whole fruit takes longer to digest.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before consuming your coffee and dates. Proper hydration can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Combine with Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small portion of almond butter. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Monitor Portion Sizes
Limit the number of dates you consume. Even foods that are healthy in small quantities can cause spikes if consumed in large amounts.
Opt for Black Coffee
Avoid adding sugar or syrups to your Americano coffee. If you need a bit of sweetness, use a small amount of a natural sweetener like stevia.
Include Vegetables
Add a small salad with leafy greens or non-starchy vegetables to your meal. These can help slow the absorption of sugar.
Timing of Consumption
Avoid eating dates and coffee on an empty stomach. Have them as part of a balanced meal or snack.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after consuming your meal. Even a brief walk can help lower glucose levels.

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

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
