Are all carbs equal?

Pizza hut have started selling gluten free prizza base, and a double pepperoni 9" gluten free pizza is 20.6 carbs.

If you had very little carbs at every other meal that day, whats the consensus on getting away with one of these occasionally?
 
Only one way to find out - take your meter. Measure before, measure after.
 
I was going to start shouting about carbs and stuff. Then the enormity of what you'd written hit me.

20g of carbs for a pizza sounds like a game changer to me. I'm pretty anti-grain, but for a one-off treat when everyone else is scoffing pizza, this sounds kinda cool. I can't believe there are many carbs in cheese and pepperami.

What's the catch? Is 20g carb per pizza or per slice?

(I don't ever like pizza that much, but 20g!).

In the past, if I wanted a pizza, I made my own on a tortilla wrap, but they can have at least 30g carbs per wrap, so this didn't look too bad.

What I also wonder is if it would it upset weight loss too.

Oh dear.

That list shows 20g per slice of Pizza. There are 6 slices in a 9 inch Pizza, so that's 120g of Carb for a whole Pizza. Yes that will affect your weight loss and yes it will spike your BG. If you can stop at a single slice, then you're a better man than me.

Knew it was too good to be true. Back to the kebab shop for me.
 
I occasionally eat a carb or 2. I can handle it better in the middle of the dqay and I make sure the portion is TINY and no more than about 12 carbs in total.I'm good at Maths, so Ican estimate portion size and calculate from quoted carb levels. It's worked so far. I've kept to where I want to be.
