How to consume Black Beans without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Include non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or kale in your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate sources of healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or olive oil. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Eat Protein-Rich Foods
Combine black beans with lean proteins like chicken breast, tofu, or fish. Protein can help mitigate glucose spikes.
Portion Control
Be mindful of portion sizes. Eating smaller amounts of black beans can reduce the impact on your blood sugar.
Incorporate Whole Grains
If you're eating black beans with grains, choose whole grains like quinoa, barley, or brown rice rather than refined grains.
Hydrate Well
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help with better digestion and glucose regulation.
Use Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your black bean dish. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.
Avoid Sugary Ingredients
Skip adding sugary sauces or dressings that could exacerbate glucose spikes.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew and savor your food. Eating slowly can aid in better digestion and glucose control.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity like a walk after your meal. Exercise can help lower blood 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.
