How to consume Pizza Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pizza cheese you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall intake of carbohydrates and fats.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add a side salad or vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your meal. Fiber slows down digestion and can help balance blood sugar levels.

Include Protein-Rich Foods

Incorporate lean proteins such as grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils with your meal. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.

Drink Plenty of Water

Stay hydrated before and during your meal, as water can help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat slowly and chew thoroughly. This practice can help regulate how quickly sugar enters your bloodstream.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help your body use glucose more effectively.

Opt for Whole Grain Alternatives

If making pizza at home, use a whole grain or cauliflower crust which generally contains more fiber and fewer simple carbohydrates.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to identify patterns and understand how different foods affect you.

Pre-meal Snack

Consider eating a small, balanced snack like an apple with almond butter or a handful of nuts about 30 minutes before consuming pizza cheese to reduce the spike.

Limit Sugary Beverages

Avoid sugary drinks during your meal as they can add additional carbohydrates and contribute to blood sugar spikes.
