How to consume Pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage glucose levels better.

Add Vegetables

Load your pizza with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, and onions. These add fiber and nutrients, which can help moderate blood sugar impact.

Whole Grain Crust

Opt for a pizza with a whole grain or cauliflower crust, which is digested more slowly than traditional white flour crust.

Protein Addition

Include a good source of protein such as grilled chicken or turkey on your pizza. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocados or a sprinkle of seeds (like flaxseeds or chia seeds) to your meal. These fats can also help slow the digestion process.

Pair with a Salad

Accompany your pizza with a side salad made of leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber in the salad can aid in slowing down digestion.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help digestion and reduce the potential spike in glucose levels.

Post-Meal Activity

Consider taking a short walk after eating. Physical activity helps muscles use glucose more efficiently, which can lower blood sugar levels.

Avoid Sugary Beverages

Drink water, herbal tea, or other non-sugary beverages instead of sodas or sweetened drinks, which can contribute to increased glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues. This can help you better regulate your food intake and prevent overeating.
