How to consume Pepperoni Pizza (Frozen, Cooked) without glucose spikes
Eat a Smaller Portion
Reducing the amount of pepperoni pizza you consume can help minimize the glucose spike. Consider eating just one or two slices rather than more.
Add a Side Salad
Incorporate a side salad with lots of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber in these vegetables can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Include Protein
Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken breast or a handful of nuts. Protein can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grain Crust
If possible, choose a pizza with a whole grain crust or make your own pizza using whole grain dough. The additional fiber can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Drink Water or Unsweetened Beverages
Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal tea, or other unsweetened beverages. Staying hydrated can also help with overall digestion.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats into your meal, such as avocado slices or an olive oil-based dressing for your salad. Healthy fats can slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.
Chew Slowly and Thoroughly
Eating slowly and chewing your food thoroughly can aid in better digestion and can give your body more time to process the carbohydrates.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light exercise, such as a 10-15 minute walk, before your meal. Physical activity can help improve your body’s insulin sensitivity.
Post-Meal Activity
Take a walk or do some light physical activity after eating. This can help improve glucose uptake by your muscles and reduce the spike.
Monitor Portion of Sauce
Be mindful of the amount of tomato sauce on your pizza, as it can contain added sugars. Opt for a pizza with less sauce or make your own sauce to control the ingredients.
Include Vinegar
Adding a bit of vinegar, like in a salad dressing, may help reduce the glucose response.
Avoid High-Carb Snacks
Skip additional high-carb snacks like breadsticks or garlic bread that often accompany pizza meals.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
