How to consume Pizza With Meat without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Crust

Choose a pizza with a whole grain or whole wheat crust instead of a refined flour crust. This type of crust digests more slowly and helps to moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Extra Veggies

Load your pizza with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes. The fiber in these veggies can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Pair with a Protein

Have a side serving of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a moderate amount of healthy fats such as avocado slices, olives, or a drizzle of olive oil. These fats can slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Watch Portion Sizes

Eat smaller portions of pizza. Even with modifications, large servings can still lead to significant glucose spikes.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat your meal. Eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal. Proper hydration can aid digestion and help keep blood sugar levels stable.

Use Low-Carb Sauces

Choose pizza sauces that are low in added sugars. Making your own sauce from fresh tomatoes and herbs can be a good alternative.

Incorporate a Salad

Start your meal with a salad that includes leafy greens, cucumbers, and other non-starchy vegetables. This can provide fiber and help fill you up before you start on the pizza.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating pizza to understand how it affects you personally. This can help you make better choices in the future.
