How to consume Pizza without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza you consume in one sitting. Opt for one or two slices instead of several.

Choose Whole Grain Crust

Select pizza with a whole grain or cauliflower crust. These options are generally better for managing glucose levels.

Load Up on Vegetables

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and spinach to your pizza. These toppings can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein-Rich Toppings

Include lean protein toppings such as grilled chicken or turkey. Protein helps to moderate blood sugar spikes.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fat sources like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds. Healthy fats can help in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Pair with a Salad

Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and other low-carbohydrate vegetables. This can help fill you up and reduce the overall glycemic impact of the meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and eat slowly. This helps in better digestion and can prevent spikes in blood sugar.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Consider having a small amount of apple cider vinegar mixed with water before your meal. Some studies suggest it may help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Take a brisk walk or engage in light exercise after eating pizza. Physical activity can help utilize the glucose in your bloodstream, reducing spikes.
