Pepperoni Pizza (1 serving(s))

Keep the portion smaller (for example, 1–2 slices) and avoid adding breadsticks, dessert, or sugary drinks.

Start with a fiber-rich side such as a non-starchy vegetable salad with olive-oil-based dressing; skip croutons and sweet dressings.

Choose a thinner-crust pizza or reduce the amount of crust, and favor extra vegetable toppings over extra cheese or processed meats.

Pair the meal with water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead of soda, juice, or beer.

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

For future meals, consider a lower-carb homemade pizza base such as cauliflower crust, topped with vegetables, cheese, and a moderate amount of pepperoni.
