How to consume Qunioa - Whole Grain without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or beans with your quinoa meal to slow down the absorption of glucose into your bloodstream.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil in your quinoa dish. These fats can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your quinoa. The fiber in these vegetables can help moderate glucose spikes.
Eat Smaller Portions
Control your portion size by measuring out a single serving of quinoa, which is usually around 1/2 cup cooked. Smaller portions can help limit the glucose spike.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially during meals, to help regulate your blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Quinoa
Always opt for whole grain quinoa over any refined or processed versions to ensure you get the maximum health benefits and fiber.
Add Legumes
Combine quinoa with beans, lentils, or chickpeas. These additions can provide extra protein and fiber, further helping to balance your blood sugar levels.
Use Vinegar-Based Dressings
Dress your quinoa salad with a vinegar-based dressing. Vinegar has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose levels.
Snack Wisely
If you’re eating quinoa as part of a larger meal, be mindful of your snacks. Choose options like nuts, seeds, or a small piece of fruit with some cheese to keep your blood sugar stable.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully, chewing your food thoroughly. This practice can aid in better digestion and help prevent overeating, which can lead to glucose spikes.

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.
