How to consume 14" pepperoni pizza, lemonade without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Eat a smaller portion of the pizza to reduce the overall carbohydrate and calorie intake, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add a Salad

Pair your meal with a side salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber content can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Include Protein

Add a protein-rich option like grilled chicken or tofu to your meal. Protein can help stabilize your blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full longer.

Choose Whole Grain Crust

If possible, opt for a pizza with a whole grain crust, as it digests more slowly compared to refined flour crusts, leading to a more gradual release of sugar.

Drink Water

Instead of lemonade, choose water or unsweetened iced tea to reduce sugar intake and prevent spikes in blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, as eating slowly can help your body better manage the digestion process and sugar absorption.

Physical Activity

Go for a walk or engage in light exercise after your meal to help your muscles use some of the sugar in your bloodstream, reducing the spike.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or nuts into your meal. Fats can slow down digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to better understand how your body responds and make adjustments accordingly.

Plan Ahead

If you know you're going to have a treat like pizza and lemonade, balance your earlier meals with lower-carbohydrate options to maintain overall daily intake.
