Beer (Heineken) (1 Serving) and Margherita Pizza (1 Piece)

Limit beer to a smaller serving or choose a lower-carbohydrate option; alternate each alcoholic drink with water.

Keep pizza to 1–2 smaller slices and avoid adding sugary sauces, extra refined-crust items, or dessert.

Start with a non-starchy vegetable salad with olive oil and vinegar before the pizza.

Add a protein-rich side such as grilled chicken, eggs, tofu, or fish to slow the meal’s carbohydrate absorption.

Choose a thinner, higher-fiber pizza base when available and prioritize vegetable toppings over extra cheese or processed meats.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you.
