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

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza and lemonade you consume. Have one or two slices instead of several, and opt for a smaller serving of lemonade.

Balanced Meal

Pair the pizza with a protein-rich side dish, like grilled chicken or tofu, to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Fiber

Include a salad or a side of non-starchy vegetables, like broccoli or spinach, with your meal to increase fiber intake and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Replace or dilute the lemonade with water to reduce sugar intake and maintain hydration without added calories.

Choose Whole-Grain Crust

If available, opt for a whole-grain or thin crust pizza option to increase fiber content and help reduce spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates consumed.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body use glucose more effectively.

Protein Snacks

Before eating the pizza, have a small protein-rich snack like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Lemonade Alternative

Opt for a lower-sugar drink alternative or make your own lemonade using fresh lemons and a natural low-calorie sweetener.

Monitor and Adjust

Pay attention to how your body responds to these changes and adjust your strategies accordingly for the best results.
