How to consume Carrot Salad without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein to your carrot salad, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or hard-boiled eggs, to slow down glucose absorption.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil dressing, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds (e.g., chia seeds, flaxseeds, or almonds).
Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Mix in other vegetables that are high in fiber such as spinach, kale, cucumbers, or bell peppers to help moderate the spike.
Use Vinegar-Based Dressing
Opt for a dressing made from vinegar (like apple cider vinegar) instead of sugary or creamy dressings to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Eat Small Portions
Keep the portion size of the carrot salad smaller to reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.
Combine with Whole Grains
If you want to make the salad more filling, add a small amount of quinoa, barley, or brown rice.
Opt for Fresh, Raw Carrots
Use fresh, raw carrots instead of cooked ones, as cooking can increase their impact on blood sugar.
Incorporate Beans or Legumes
Add beans or legumes like chickpeas, black beans, or lentils to add more protein and fiber.
Eat Slowly
Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to give your body more time to process and absorb the nutrients gradually.
Drink Water
Accompany your meal with a glass of water to help with digestion and keep you hydrated, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

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