Wheat hates bacon?

While the faux pizza recipe from the fathead blog is low carb (<5g carb per slice the way I made it), since eating it I find myself nauseated by the thought of bacon and grease. I had to make mine with a low carb, wheat-containing baking flour mix, and I wonder if my body said, "Hey! Wheat!! F** Yeah! Screw fat!"
I was planning to eat the pizza leftovers for most of the week, but I'm thinking maybe I'll go get a bunless bacon cheeseburger at lunch instead, see if that changes anything. I need to get to Whole Foods and find an almond flour if I want to make the pizza again.

Was it from the toppings you used? Because the Fathead crust bakes up bready, not greasy at all.0

Well the toppings were greasy, but that's not quite what I meant by my post. It was the first significant amount of wheat anything I've had in three weeks, and I'm wondering if suddenly being turned off by the thought of bacon and such (for any meal, not just the pizza) is a result of my body getting a taste of wheat again.0

Oh, I get it. You made the Fathead crust with something like Carbquik instead of almond flour? And now regular high fat stuff doesn't sound good? I don't have that issue myself, but I have been tested and I don't have any gluten/wheat intolerances/allergies. Maybe you do? Sounds like it would be best to avoid for now. Take baby steps to get back in the groove and don't force yourself to eat anything that doesn't sound good.0

It might be the wheat actually. Some people have found they have a wheat sensitivity only after they've come off of it and then tried it again. Same sometimes with diary.0 -
I forget who posted this alternative for pizza. The crust is made from beef rolled thin and baked. Then add toppings and bake again. It is very good. Very rich.

The crust was very good, and I'd fearlessly make it again with almond flour. I'll save the low carb flour (I think it was Carb Cutters brand?) for things for my husband.
Anyway, there's a diner up the street that serves tuna salad over greens (also considering a muffin-less eggs benedict), so I might do that for lunch instead of eating the pizza I brought. Shame to waste it, but now I know!0 -
My nausea was so strong as I went to eat lunch I turned around, deciding instead to have a cup of broth and a mint tea after. I felt so much better about this decision that I stopped at an Asian bistro looking for stir fried beef. They were mostly a sushi place so they suggested the beef teriyaki bento. I said sure, hold the sauce, hold the rice, hold the miso (their miso is awful), hold the salad dressing.
I got back to the office, opened it up, and the beef is coated in that sugary fake "teriyaki" sauce. So it's in the fridge in case someone else gets hungry. What a Monday I've had (this is just the tip of the iceberg).
My broth settled my stomach, though. I can have some macadamia nuts if my appetite returns.0 -
Someone on here posted a cheese crust that was dead easy and really delicious.
1.5 cups of grated mozzarella mixed with a beaten egg.
Spread it out flat and bake it.
Put your toppings on and bake it until toppings are cooked.
Easy, easy, easy and delicious.0 -
That's pretty similar to the recipe I tried that sparked this problem, but it called for 3/4 cup of almond flour. I still have to find some almond flour...0

Too bad you're not near me. I ordered a big bag of it off Amazon...and was told shortly after to quit eating almonds because I don't react well to them!0
-
Oh that's rotten luck.
I just need to make my way over to Whole Foods, I know they'll have it. There's a half dozen bags of Gluten Free mix in the cabinet, but none are almond as the recipe I was following suggests. I suppose I should try those first.
...if I even wanted pizza at this point.0 -
Costco sells almond flour in 48 oz bags.0

Good to know! I don't think I want that much, though.
No place to keep it, and no real desire to bake that much anymore. 0 -

Wait, what? where? We are semi-preppers and have 5 gallon food grade buckets full of food so we've got room for almond flour in huge bags! Ive found flax seed meal there we get a couple huge bags a month to add to our stockpile but Ive never seen Costco carry the almond flour. Ive got to go scour the shelves now0 -

I just used ground almonds for the Fathead pizza recipe as I've not found almond flour here - works well anyway!
