How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza, garlic bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza and garlic bread you consume in one sitting. Consider having a smaller slice or sharing with others to reduce the overall intake.

Pair with Protein

Add a side of grilled chicken or tofu to your meal. Incorporating protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber can help moderate digestion and reduce rapid sugar spikes.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If possible, opt for whole grain or thin crust pizza and whole wheat garlic bread to add more fiber and nutrients.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Consider adding a small portion of avocado or a handful of nuts as a side. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully. Chewing thoroughly and taking breaks between bites can help your body process the meal more efficiently.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal. This can help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

Keep an eye on your blood sugar levels before and after the meal to understand how your body responds and adjust future meals accordingly.

Plan Ahead

If you know you’ll be having a meal that could cause a spike, plan your other meals around it with lower carbohydrate options to balance your intake throughout the day.
