How to consume italian pizza with mushrooms without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help reduce the impact on your glucose levels.

Add a Side Salad

Complement your pizza with a side salad that includes leafy greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers. These foods have a lower impact on glucose levels and can help mitigate spikes.

Choose Whole-Grain Crust

Opt for a pizza made with whole-grain or whole-wheat crust, which can result in a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Include Protein-Rich Toppings

Add chicken, turkey, or plant-based protein toppings to your pizza. Protein can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and reduce glucose spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add moderate amounts of healthy fats such as avocado or a sprinkle of nuts. These fats can help balance blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you enjoy your meal more and may prevent overeating, which can lead to larger glucose spikes.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. Physical activity can help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Opt for Tomato-Based Sauces

Use tomato-based sauces over creamy or high-sugar options to keep additional glucose intake to a minimum.

Monitor Pizza Ingredients

Be aware of any added sugars or high-carbohydrate ingredients used in the pizza, such as certain sauces or refined flour, and try to avoid them.
