    I know that if pizza is in front of me I'm going to eat it.
    Not one or two slices - all of it!
    I try to avoid it as much as possible - but if it happens it happens - I enjoy it, log it and move on.

    How funny I came across this thread and we are headed out to dinner with our friends and of course they all want pizza. My plan is to see if I can find a personal thin crust, eat half and then a side salad. It's the beer I really want :)

    Some people crave the beer, some people crave a couple slices of pizza. Some people would be totally fine with a cauliflower crust because it's the cheese and toppings they like (I'm one of those!).

    It's hard to give advice on how to satiate cravings because it's personal. Cauliflower crust is a perfect comprimise to me. 2-3 slices and low cal vegtables on the side is a perfect comprimise to me. You milage may vary.

    Some of the commercial cauliflower crusts can be roughly as calorie-dense as traditional crust. Some may be more nutrient-dense . . . but there's a surprising lot of variation on that score, IME. Worth checking the details of the particular crust options, maybe.

    And don’t assume gluten free is healthier. My husband was certain he’d scored by ordering a gluten free pizza. “It’s only 200 calories per slice!”

    He was picturesquely disappointed when they brought out a pizza the size of a Little Debbie, cut into six slices.

    I lost 90 pounds and had pizza and wine every Friday night. It's something we've done since our kids were young. We're retired now and the "kids" no longer live at home but we have busy lives and so we still look forward to pizza and wine on Fridays.

    I make a crust for my husband's and he has whatever toppings he wants. I've tried different styles of crust for myself and enjoy using a whole wheat wrap the best. I have always preferred a veggie pizza, so that's what I have, with lots of cheese. If for some reason we end up ordering pizza instead of making it ourselves, I order a small, thin crust veggie for myself. And yes, I eat the whole thing. And drink wine :)

    I have made good progress this week. Family wants to get pizza tonight. How do you handle that?

    then....

    i eat pizza?


    i actually dont particularly LIKE pizza, so its not something i eat much of, but with a husband and teenage son, I DO eat it on occasion. i eat out plenty though- chinese and mexican, and other places.

    you can eat 'normal' places and still lose weight. trust me.

    Over time I found myself liking commercial pizzas less and less. About once every five weeks I have a homemade sausage pizza (thin crust, turkey sausage seasoned with Italian sausage seasoning) and every other week I have a hot Italian beef sandwich, which is an open-face roast beef sandwich with mozzarella that is run under the broiler, and honestly the melty cheese/crunchy bread sensation of that means that I don't want a full pizza very often.
