Thick Crust Cheese Pizza with Vegetables (1 Piece (1/8 Of 12 Inches Dia))

Have a smaller portion—such as one slice—and avoid eating extra crusts or multiple slices in one sitting.

Choose a thin, whole-grain or cauliflower-based crust instead of thick crust when available, and ask for extra non-starchy vegetable toppings such as mushrooms, peppers, spinach, or broccoli.

Pair the pizza with a large salad of leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and a vinegar-based dressing; eat the salad first.

Add a protein side such as grilled chicken, eggs, tofu, or unsweetened Greek yogurt to slow digestion and improve fullness.

Skip sugary drinks, juice, and desserts with the meal; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
