How to consume Pepperoni Pizza (Frozen, Cooked) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Pair with Vegetables

Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or a salad. These can help slow down the absorption of glucose and improve overall nutrient intake.

Opt for Whole Grain Crust

If possible, choose or make a pizza with a whole grain or cauliflower crust, which can be more beneficial in managing blood sugar.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey. Protein can slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats by adding avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil on top of the pizza. These fats can also help moderate blood sugar rises.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help promote insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, which can help improve digestion and give your body time to process the food more effectively.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating pizza to help identify any patterns and adjust your approach as needed.

Balance with Low-Carb Snacks

If you're planning to have pizza, balance it with low-carb snacks throughout the day to help manage your overall carbohydrate intake.
