How to consume Home Cooked - Dal (Lentils) and Basmati Rice , 1/2 cup (45g) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Consider reducing the portion size of both the dal and basmati rice to minimize the glucose spike.
Add Fiber
Incorporate additional fiber sources in your meal, such as adding a side of green leafy vegetables or a small serving of beans or chickpeas. Fiber helps slow down the digestion process.
Protein Addition
Include a portion of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds. Fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Cook with Spices
Use spices like cinnamon or fenugreek in your dal, as they may help regulate blood sugar levels.
Pre-Meal Activity
Engage in mild physical activity such as a short walk before your meal to help your body manage glucose more effectively.
Hydration
Ensure proper hydration before your meal, as water can aid in digestion and metabolism.
Balanced Meal Timing
Eat your meal at consistent intervals to avoid large variations in blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Include Vinegar
Consider adding a small amount of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, to your meal. It can have a moderating effect on blood sugar spikes.
Monitor Cooking Methods
Opt for methods like steaming or boiling for the rice to maintain its nutritional integrity while helping control glucose spikes. Avoid frying or using excessive oil.

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