How to consume Pizza without glucose spikes

Opt for Thin Crust

Choose a thin crust pizza over a thick crust to reduce the carbohydrate content and potential for a glucose spike.

Add Fiber-Rich Toppings

Include toppings like vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach) that are high in fiber to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Pair with a Salad

Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. This can help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates from the pizza.

Include Lean Proteins

Add lean protein toppings such as grilled chicken or turkey, which can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Control Portion Size

Limit the number of slices you eat in one sitting. Eating smaller portions can prevent a larger glucose spike.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated with water instead of sugary drinks, as sugary beverages can contribute to blood sugar spikes.

Choose Whole Grain Crust

If available, opt for a whole grain or whole wheat crust to increase the fiber content of your meal.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly, which can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, which can help to slow the digestion process.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating to better understand how pizza affects you personally and make adjustments accordingly.
