How to consume Lentils without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as chicken, fish, tofu, or eggs in your meal. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive oil to your lentils dish to help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Increase the volume of your meal with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, or bell peppers. These can help reduce the overall impact of carbohydrates on your blood sugar.
Control Portion Sizes
Be mindful of the portion size of lentils you consume. Eating smaller portions can help minimize spikes in blood sugar levels.
Cook Lentils Al Dente
Avoid overcooking lentils. Cooking them until they are just tender but still firm can help reduce the rate at which they raise blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.
Engage in Light Physical Activity
A short walk after meals can help your muscles use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream, mitigating the spike.
Incorporate Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your dish can have a modest effect on lowering blood sugar levels after meals.
Maintain Consistent Meal Timing
Eating at regular intervals can help your body manage blood sugar levels more consistently throughout the day.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of how your body responds to lentils and adjust your meal composition as necessary based on personal experience or advice from a healthcare professional.

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