How to consume Pepperoni Pizza without glucose spikes
Limit Portion Size
Eat a smaller portion of pepperoni pizza to reduce the overall carbohydrate and calorie intake.
Add a Side Salad
Pair your meal with a side salad made of leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette dressing. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars and keep you fuller for longer.
Include Protein and Fiber
Incorporate foods like grilled chicken, beans, or lentils into your meal. These additions can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Opt for Whole Grain Crust
If possible, choose a whole grain pizza crust instead of a regular one. Whole grains digest more slowly and can help prevent spikes.
Drink Water
Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water or unsweetened beverages. Hydration can aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.
Use Lower-Fat Cheese
If you're making the pizza at home, consider using cheese that is lower in fat to reduce the calorie content and possibly the impact on your blood sugar.
Include Healthy Fats
Add avocado slices or a few nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can slow the absorption of carbs and help with glucose control.
Exercise Post-Meal
A light walk or some gentle exercise after eating can help your body process the glucose more effectively.
Monitor Timing
Be mindful of the time you eat your pizza. Eating earlier in the day when your metabolism is more active can help your body manage the glucose better than eating late at night.
Check Ingredients
When ordering pizza, ask for less sauce or a lighter amount since pizza sauces often contain added sugars which can contribute to glucose spikes.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
