How to consume Quinoa (Cooked) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Monitor your portion sizes when consuming quinoa. A smaller portion can help manage your glucose levels more effectively.
Pair with Protein
Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from quinoa.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil to your quinoa dish to help reduce the glucose spike.
Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your meal. The fiber content can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Vinegar
Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider or balsamic, to your quinoa salad to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Drink Water
Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal, as it can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar.
Chew Slowly
Take your time to chew your food thoroughly, which can aid in better digestion and slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Exercise After Eating
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming your quinoa meal to help manage blood sugar levels.
Eat Mindfully
Focus on eating without distractions to better regulate portion sizes and prevent overeating.
Monitor Your Response
Keep track of how your body responds to quinoa and adjust your intake based on personal glucose monitoring results.

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.
