How to consume italian pizza with mushrooms without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Crust

Choose a whole grain or whole wheat pizza crust as it typically has a slower impact on blood sugar levels compared to refined flour crusts.

Add Fiber-rich Vegetables

Increase the amount of fiber by adding more fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, and onions to your pizza. This helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein-rich Toppings

Add protein-rich toppings such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Tomato Sauce Sparingly

Be mindful of the amount of tomato sauce used, as it can contain added sugars. Opt for a no-added-sugar version if possible.

Serve with a Side Salad

Pair your pizza with a side salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes, which can help moderate the body's response to the carbohydrates in the pizza.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Adding healthy fats, like avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil, can help slow digestion and improve blood sugar control.

Limit Portion Size

Consider having a smaller portion of pizza and balancing it with other low-impact foods to reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain overall hydration, which can aid in better blood sugar management.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat and savor each bite. Eating slowly can help prevent overeating and allow your body to process the food more effectively.

Monitor Timing of Meals

Try to eat your pizza earlier in the day when your body is more efficient at processing carbohydrates, which can help reduce spikes later on.
