How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your intake to a small slice or two, and avoid consuming the entire pizza in one sitting. This helps control the total carbohydrate load.

Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side of leafy green salad or non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or cucumber. These can help slow digestion and absorption of sugars.

Protein Addition

Pair the pizza with a source of protein such as grilled chicken breast, fish, or tofu. Protein can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small handful of nuts, which may help slow the digestion and absorption of the carbohydrates in the pizza.

Whole Grain Alternative

Opt for a pizza crust made from whole grains or a cauliflower base, which can have a lower impact on blood sugar compared to traditional refined flour crusts.

Hydration

Drink water before and with your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help lower the likelihood of a glucose spike.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 15-20 minute walk, after eating. This can help your body metabolize the sugars more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Chew slowly and savor each bite. Eating slowly can help you feel full sooner and may prevent overeating.

Balanced Meal Timing

Ensure your other meals throughout the day are balanced with low-carb, high-fiber foods to manage overall blood sugar levels.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to pizza and adjust your strategies as needed.
