How to consume Pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions will help mitigate the impact on your glucose levels.

Add a Salad

Pair your pizza with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The fiber in vegetables can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, helping to manage glucose spikes.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If available, opt for whole grain or whole wheat pizza crust. These options typically digest more slowly compared to refined flour crusts.

Include Protein

Add protein-rich toppings like grilled chicken or incorporate a side of lean protein such as grilled chicken breast or tofu to help stabilize blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Consider adding healthy fats such as avocado or nuts to your meal, or enjoy a few olives on the side. Healthy fats can help slow digestion and stabilize glucose levels.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Slow Down

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the carbohydrates gradually.

Go for Thin Crust

Opt for a thin crust pizza to reduce the overall carbohydrate content compared to thick or stuffed crusts.

Monitor Timing

Try eating pizza earlier in the day when your metabolism is more active, rather than late at night.

Practice Mindful Eating

Pay attention to hunger cues and stop eating when you’re comfortably full, rather than stuffed.
