How to consume Cooked Lentils without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start with a smaller portion of lentils and gradually increase based on how your body responds.
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as chicken, fish, tofu, or eggs to your meal to slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Incorporate vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, or bell peppers to add fiber and volume to your meal.
Include Vinegar
Consider using vinegar-based dressings or adding a splash of vinegar to your meal, as it may help in blunting blood sugar spikes.
Opt for Whole Grains
If consuming grains alongside lentils, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, which can aid in digestion and help in maintaining steady glucose levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to chew and enjoy your meal, which can prevent overeating and help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of how your body reacts to lentils and make adjustments to your meal composition if needed.
Exercise Regularly
Engaging in regular physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and help manage blood sugar levels effectively.

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