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

Opt for Whole Grain Crust

Choose whole grain or thin crust options for your pizza to lower the carbohydrate content and slow down sugar absorption.

Add More Vegetables

Top your pizza with fiber-rich vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, or onions to help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Include a Side Salad

Pair your pizza with a side salad containing leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber in the salad can help slow down the digestion process.

Eat a Protein-Rich Snack Beforehand

Consuming a small protein-rich snack, such as a handful of nuts or a boiled egg, before eating pizza can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Practice Portion Control

Limit yourself to one or two slices of pizza and complement your meal with a protein and fiber-rich side dish.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help your body use up the glucose from the meal more efficiently.

Choose a Low-Sugar Tomato Sauce

When possible, opt for a pizza with a tomato sauce that has little to no added sugars to reduce overall sugar intake.

Use Cheese Strategically

While cheese can be a source of protein, be mindful of the quantity, as too much can add extra calories and saturated fat.

Mind Your Eating Pace

Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to process the food, which can help in reducing the spike in glucose levels.
