How to consume Pepperoni Pizza without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Crust

Choose a pizza with a whole grain crust instead of a regular one to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber-Rich Toppings

Include vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions as toppings to increase fiber content and aid in moderating blood sugar levels.

Limit Portion Size

Eat smaller portions of pizza to reduce the overall carbohydrate load and minimize the impact on blood glucose levels.

Balance with Protein

Pair your pizza with a side of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or a small portion of cheese, to help stabilize your blood sugar.

Include a Side Salad

Accompany your pizza with a salad that includes leafy greens and a vinaigrette dressing to add fiber and nutrients, supporting better glucose control.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal to help with digestion and avoid any additional sugary beverages that can spike blood sugar.

Mind the Pizza Sauce

Opt for pizzas with a light amount of sauce or ask for fresh tomato slices instead to reduce the sugar content from sauces.

Consider a Cauliflower Crust

If available, try a pizza made with a cauliflower crust to lower the carbohydrate content while still enjoying a pizza-like experience.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat slowly and savor each bite to allow your body to better process the meal and help prevent overeating.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Plan for a short walk or some light physical activity after your meal to assist in regulating blood sugar levels effectively.
