How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of slices you eat. Instead of indulging in multiple slices, enjoy one or two and complement your meal with healthier options.

Include a Side Salad

Accompany your pizza with a salad made of leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocados. The fiber in the vegetables can help slow down the digestion process and minimize glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grain

Opt for a whole-grain crust instead of a refined flour crust, if available. Whole grains have a slower digestion rate.

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein alongside your pizza, such as grilled chicken or a side of beans. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated with water instead of sugary drinks. Avoid sodas and juices as they can contribute to increased glucose levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add toppings like olives or nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. Being mindful during meals can prevent overeating and help in better digestion.

Engage in Light Activity

Take a short walk after your meal. Physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and aids in lowering blood sugar levels.

Vegetable Toppings

Customize your pizza with additional vegetable toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to increase fiber content.

Monitor Meal Timing

Avoid eating the pizza on an empty stomach. Having a small, balanced snack before your meal can moderate glucose spikes.
