How to consume Avocado salad without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes like chickpeas or lentils to your avocado salad. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, which can reduce glucose spikes.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, or seeds. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the digestion process.
Increase Fiber
Mix in high-fiber vegetables such as leafy greens, bell peppers, and cucumbers. Fiber slows glucose absorption, helping to prevent spikes.
Choose Whole Grains
If you want to add grains to your salad, opt for quinoa, barley, or bulgur. These grains have a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Control Portions
Be mindful of portion sizes, especially of the avocado. While it's healthy, eating too much can still lead to a spike in blood sugar.
Limit Sugary Dressings
Avoid dressings high in sugar. Instead, make your own using ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil.
Add Vinegar
Including a bit of vinegar in your salad dressing can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Select Low-Sugar Fruits
If adding fruits, choose options like berries, which have a lower sugar content compared to other fruits.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. This can help with digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Chewing more and eating slowly can help your body better manage glucose levels by giving it more time to process the food.

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.
