How to consume arepa without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or plant-based proteins like tofu alongside your arepa. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.
Opt for High-Fiber Fillings
Use fiber-rich ingredients like black beans, lentils, or vegetables as fillings for your arepa. Fiber can help regulate blood sugar spikes.
Select Whole-Grain Arepas
If available, choose arepas made from whole-grain cornmeal or incorporate whole grains into your diet, as they are absorbed more slowly.
Portion Control
Be mindful of the portion size of your arepa. Eating smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Add a Side Salad
Accompany your meal with a side salad containing leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables. This can add bulk and nutrients without causing a spike.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water with your meal. Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger, leading to overeating.
Regular Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to enjoy your meal. Eating slowly can help you feel full with less food and allows your body to process carbohydrates more gradually.
Monitor Blood Sugar Levels
Keep track of how different foods affect your blood sugar and adjust your eating habits accordingly, using a continuous glucose monitor if possible.

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.
