How to consume Pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of pizza you consume to help manage the rise in blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Crust

Choose a pizza with a whole grain crust or make your own using whole wheat flour to slow down the carbohydrate absorption.

Protein Intake

Add a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey, to your pizza. This can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocados, nuts, or seeds as pizza toppings or sides to help balance the meal.

Veggie Toppings

Load your pizza with non-starchy vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions to add fiber and nutrients.

Salad Side

Pair your pizza with a side salad featuring greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to add bulk and fiber to your meal.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to allow your body time to process the meal, potentially reducing spikes.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk after eating, to help utilize the glucose from your meal.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different types of pizza affect you and adjust accordingly.
