How to consume Christmas Dinner without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the size of carbohydrate-rich foods such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and bread to help manage blood sugar levels.
Start with Vegetables
Begin your meal with non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, and salad greens. These are low in sugar and can help blunt the glucose spike.
Include Protein
Incorporate lean proteins such as turkey, chicken, or fish. Protein can slow the absorption of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar.
Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and seeds to your meal. Fats can also help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Whole Grains
Choose whole grain options for any bread or rolls you might eat. Whole grains digest more slowly than refined grains.
Swap Starchy Sides
Replace regular mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower or roasted sweet potatoes in moderation.
Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber-rich foods like legumes, lentils, and chickpeas to your meal. Fiber helps slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Limit Sugary Drinks
Opt for water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water instead of sugary beverages like soda or juice.
Mind Your Desserts
Choose desserts made with natural sweeteners and lower sugar content, such as a small portion of fruit salad or a dessert made with whole grains and nuts.
Pacing
Eat slowly and take your time to enjoy the meal. This can help prevent overeating and give your body time to manage blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
After your meal, consider taking a walk or engaging in some light physical activity to help your body use up the glucose in your bloodstream.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water throughout the meal to stay hydrated, which can help with overall digestion and blood sugar control.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels before and after the meal to understand how different foods affect you and to make adjustments as necessary.

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.
