How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your intake to one or two slices instead of consuming the entire pizza. Reducing the portion size can significantly minimize glucose spikes.

Pair with Vegetables

Add a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber in vegetables can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey on top of your pizza or as a side dish. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grain Options

If possible, choose a pizza crust made from whole grains or whole wheat to increase fiber content.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small amount of healthy fats like avocados or olive oil. These can help moderate glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Hydration can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy each bite. Eating slowly can help you feel full sooner and prevent overeating.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating pizza to understand how your body responds. Adjust your approach based on these insights.

Limit Sugary Beverages

Avoid consuming sugary drinks like soda with your pizza. Opt for water or unsweetened tea instead.
