How to consume Poha - dry homemade poha without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by eating smaller portions of Poha. This helps in managing the carbohydrate load and can prevent spikes in blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein like boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or cottage cheese alongside your Poha to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small quantity of nuts such as almonds or walnuts, or sprinkle some seeds like chia or flaxseeds over your Poha. Healthy fats help in moderating glucose levels.
Incorporate Vegetables
Mix in non-starchy vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes with your Poha to add fiber and nutrients, which can help stabilize blood sugar.
Use Whole Ingredients
Ensure you are using whole, minimally processed Poha. The less processed the grain, the slower the digestion and absorption, leading to better glucose control.
Add a Squeeze of Lemon
The acidity in lemon juice can help slow down the conversion of starch to sugar in your body, aiding in reduced glucose spikes.
Stay Active
Engage in light activity like a short walk after eating to help your muscles use up some of the excess glucose in your bloodstream.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and possibly mitigate rapid spikes in blood sugar.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different modifications affect you and adjust your ingredients or portions accordingly.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite, which can help prevent overeating and improve digestion.

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.
