How to consume ground beef (cooked) without glucose spikes
Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers into your meal. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Healthy Fats
Include sources of healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, or nuts. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Whole Grains
If you consume grains with your meal, opt for whole grains like quinoa or barley, which have a slower effect on blood sugar.
Limit Portion Size
Keep your portion of ground beef moderate to avoid a large influx of protein and fat, which can indirectly influence blood sugar levels.
Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can aid digestion and help manage glucose levels.
Use Herbs and Spices
Season your ground beef with herbs and spices like turmeric, cinnamon, or fenugreek, which may help improve insulin sensitivity.
Opt for Balanced Meals
Ensure your meal contains a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates to prevent spikes in blood sugar.
Avoid Sugary Sauces
Skip sauces that contain added sugars and opt for homemade versions using fresh ingredients.
Incorporate Legumes
Add legumes like lentils or chickpeas to your meal. They provide protein and fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly and Mindfully
Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help prevent overeating and aid in better digestion.
Include a Small Amount of Vinegar
Adding a small amount of vinegar, such as in a salad dressing, can help reduce post-meal glucose spikes.
Try Plant-Based Proteins
Occasionally replace some of the ground beef with plant-based protein sources like tofu or tempeh, which may have a less significant impact on blood glucose.

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.
