How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza (thick crust) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of pizza slices you consume in one sitting. Opt for one or two slices instead of three or more.

Pair with Protein

Add a side of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey, to your meal to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Vegetables

Incorporate a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and bell peppers alongside your pizza. These can help balance your meal and reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Choose a Healthier Crust

Consider making or choosing a pizza with a whole-grain or cauliflower crust to lower the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light exercise, like a brisk walk or cycling, before eating the pizza to help your body manage glucose more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the meal. Staying hydrated can aid digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Timing Your Meal

Consume your pizza at lunchtime rather than dinner. Your body may process the carbohydrates more effectively earlier in the day.

Mind Your Toppings

Opt for additional toppings like spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli to add fiber and nutrients to your meal, which can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Slow Down

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel fuller faster, reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels before and after eating to better understand how your body reacts and adjust your strategies accordingly.
