Pizza with Meat and Vegetables (1 Pizza (9 Inches Dia))

Reduce the pizza portion to 1–2 slices and add a large side salad of leafy greens, cucumber, peppers, and olive-oil vinaigrette.

Choose a thin, higher-fiber crust and prioritize vegetable toppings; ask for less crust and avoid sweet sauces or honey-based drizzles.

Eat a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios before or alongside the meal to slow digestion.

Add a protein-rich side such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, grilled chicken, or tofu rather than extra breadsticks or chips.

Skip sugary drinks and pair the meal with water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk beginning soon after eating to help lower the post-meal rise.
