How to consume Garlic Bread, Margherita pizza without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add grilled chicken or tofu to your meal. Protein can slow the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to reduce spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include a side salad with olive oil dressing or some avocado slices. Healthy fats can improve blood sugar control by slowing digestion.

Opt for Whole Grain Options

If possible, choose whole grain or whole wheat versions of pizza crust and garlic bread. These options tend to have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Add Vegetables

Increase the fiber content by topping your pizza with vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach. Fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Go for a short walk after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Mind Portion Sizes

Limit the portion of garlic bread and pizza you consume. Smaller portions can help moderate the blood sugar response.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can help in better digestion and give your body time to process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Monitor Timing

Have your meal earlier in the day when you're more active, rather than late at night, to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of how your body responds to these foods and adjust your eating patterns accordingly, allowing for personalized dietary management.
