Pizza with Beans and Vegetables (1 Piece (1/8 Of 12 Inches Dia))

Reduce the pizza portion and pair it with a larger serving of non-starchy vegetables such as salad greens, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.

Choose a cauliflower- or vegetable-based crust when available, and avoid extra dough, stuffed crust, and sugary dipping sauces.

Keep the beans to a modest portion and choose whole beans rather than sweetened baked beans or bean sauces with added sugar.

Add protein and fat to the meal, such as chicken, tofu, eggs, cheese, olives, or avocado, to slow absorption.

Eat vegetables and protein first, then have the pizza and beans rather than starting with the crust.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and avoid sweet drinks, juice, or dessert with the meal.
