How to consume Quinoa without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your quinoa meal. This can help slow down the digestion process.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or seeds into your dish. These can aid in moderating blood sugar levels.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Mix in non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers. They provide fiber and nutrients that can help stabilize glucose levels.
Portion Control
Monitor the amount of quinoa you consume. Keeping the portion moderate can prevent excessive spikes.
Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Drizzle a bit of vinegar or lemon juice over your quinoa dish. The acidity can help reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed.
Choose Whole Quinoa
Opt for whole quinoa rather than processed or pre-cooked varieties to retain more fiber, which can help control blood sugar spikes.
Cook and Cool Quinoa
Allowing quinoa to cool after cooking can increase its resistant starch content, which may have a lesser impact on blood sugar.
Snack Wisely
Avoid consuming sugary snacks or desserts alongside quinoa. Instead, opt for low-impact fruits like berries as a complement.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can support metabolic processes and help regulate glucose levels.
Regular Exercise
Incorporate physical activity into your routine to improve insulin sensitivity and help manage post-meal 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.
