How to consume english besan chilla without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein like yogurt or cottage cheese to your meal. Protein can slow down the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado or a handful of nuts. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables
Accompany your chilla with a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, or bell peppers. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and can help balance your meal.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, use whole grain flours or add oats to the chilla batter to increase fiber content, which can slow down glucose absorption.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Proper hydration supports metabolic functions and can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
Exercise After Eating
Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating. This can help your muscles use some of the glucose and reduce the spike.
Manage Portion Sizes
Be mindful of portion sizes. Eating smaller quantities can help manage post-meal blood sugar levels.
Use Cinnamon
Sprinkle a little cinnamon on your chilla or in your accompanying yogurt. Cinnamon is known to improve insulin sensitivity.
Chew Slowly
Eating slowly and thoroughly chewing your food can aid in digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood glucose.
Monitor Carbohydrate Intake
Be conscious of the total amount of carbohydrates in your meal. Balance it with other low-carbohydrate foods to maintain steady 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.
