How to consume 14" cheese pizza (thick crust) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of slices you consume. Instead of having multiple slices, try to enjoy just one or two with mindful eating.

Add a Side Salad

Include a salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes before or with your pizza. The fiber in the vegetables can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Protein

Add a protein source to your meal, such as grilled chicken or turkey. Protein can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Whole Grain Crust Option

If available, opt for a whole grain or whole wheat crust, which often has more fiber than a traditional thick crust.

Include Healthy Fats

Consider adding toppings like avocado or olives, or have a small handful of nuts as a side. Healthy fats can help manage glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, which can help with digestion and prevent overeating.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating to help your body use up glucose more efficiently.

Slow Eating

Take your time while eating. Chewing thoroughly and eating slowly can help you feel full sooner and prevent overeating.

Opt for Vegetables as Toppings

Choose vegetable toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to add more fiber and nutrients to your pizza.

Monitor Timing

Consider having pizza earlier in the day when your body might be better able to handle the carbohydrates compared to late at night.
