I have a confession to make. I think I'm addicted to pizza.

I have been eating pizza at least 3-4 times per week. Am I doomed????

Help.

    Yes, say goodbye to all of your gains. Pizza in any amount leads to fat gain and muscle loss.

    You should be:

    1. Eating 6-7 small meals a day
    2. Eating zero processed foods
    3. Eating only low Glycemic Index carbohydrates
    4. Not eating any carbs after 6:00
    5. Never skipping breakfast.
    6. Not eating any grains, dairy, or gluten

    If you do all these things, you will be healthy no matter what.

    Really can't tell if you're joking or not :indifferent:

    Anyway, OP, now you've made me want pizza!! Haha, seriously though, nothing wrong with it as long as it fits your calorie and macro goals. I could never give pizza up :heart:

    I agree as long as it gets calculated into your daily calorie intake. From a calorie point of view.

    No you are not addicted to Pizza.

    If you think you are addicted please eat pizza 3 times a day for atleast one week. If you can do that then I will say you are addicted.

    Well...Theoretically, I could down an entire Domino's medium thin crust veggie pizza for 1,080 cals (mmm, my favorite). I *could* totally fit that in my macros on a long run day. :devil: But, I don't like the pizza party to end, so I eat half one day, and half the next day.

    Help.

    try thin sliced pizza over deep dish... try making your own pizza at home using pizza sauce in a bottle and whole wheat flour tortillas or whole wheat pitas ("pitza") and look up recipes on how to bake them. Only use fresh veggies as toppings versus meat toppings unless its fat free ham or fat free turkey breast or lean chicken. good luck! Pretty much skip the takeout pizza unless its health food gourmet style place...... try california pizza kitchen they have a wide variety of options with thin crust.

    Is that an 'If it fits your mouth' ticker? If so, small meals would be more likely to fit your mouth than a large pizza that the OP is eating...

    Can you eat an entire large pizza from Costco by yourself? That's quite a feat...

    I love pizza too, whenever I crave it I go for a healthier option. Wheat crust instead of white, pesto sauce instead of red sauce, and veggies instead of meat. You should try Uncle Maddio's pizza if there is one around you!

    Bwahaha, been there, done that. Free pizza sustained me through my young, broke, college years (and I was quite an active, healthy, slim girl). Guess where I worked (hint: it rhymes with Meezza Mutt)?

    Make your own pizza? Get whole grain pizza dough or an English muffin, your cheese, light or whatnot, marinara saucee and vegetables and bake it in the oven or under the broiler and add your own toppings.

    lowfat dairy products are actually very good for your health in terms of fat loss. Try greek yogurt (plain to skimp on sugar) and add some all natural sweetner, fresh berries, or a few nuts. Try hard cheeses and drink lowfat milk. Dr. Oz says lowfat dairy 3 times a day can equal a flatter stomach and less cravings.

    You guys are depressing! If someone loves Pizza they should be able to eat it in moderation. Perhaps more exercise that day. I also have had some very satisfying substitutes by using a whole wheat healthy bread base, good sauce, and the trick is to pile up the vegetables with limited cheese. Use low fat or cheese substitutes can be very satisfying.

    If you fall off the wagon one day though do not beat yourself up about it. Just get right back on your program. To say you can never have something is unreasonable. Eating it 4 times a week .....deserves a change. I have found that once you start eating better and different foods your body starts craving them instead of the bad foods. Perhaps this will happen for you. :)

    Fat free meat has no place near pizza.. well it has no place anywhere but please no... Skip takeout pizza??? I would put my local pizza place out of business if I did that. For the economy I must fit it into my day
