How to consume Sambar without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Include a good source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish when eating Sambar to slow down the absorption of glucose.
Add Fiber
Incorporate high-fiber foods such as leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal to help moderate the glucose rise.
Choose Whole Grains
If you have Sambar with rice, opt for brown rice, quinoa, or other whole grains instead of white rice.
Eat Smaller Portions
Reduce your serving size of Sambar and other carbohydrate-rich foods to manage the spike better.
Include Healthy Fats
Add sources of healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.
Add Vinegar
Incorporate a small amount of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, into your meal as it can help lower glucose spikes.
Eat Vegetables First
Start your meal with a portion of non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers or green beans to fill up on low-carb foods.
Monitor Portion of Lentils and Beans
While lentils and beans in Sambar are healthy, they still contain carbohydrates. Be mindful of the quantity consumed.
Space Out Carbs
Spread out your carbohydrate intake over several smaller meals instead of having them all at once.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity like a walk after meals to help reduce blood sugar levels.
Avoid Sugary Additions
Skip any sweetened side dishes or beverages that may accompany your meal.

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