    I eat pizza all the time. I've lost almost 50 lbs while eating pizza. I weight 120 on 5'5". So eat the pizza and enjoy it.
  • if you have the calories to fit it in, go for it! just be aware of sodium intake, especially with fast food. if you want to be healthier, why not make a tortilla pizza out of a whole wheat tortilla, spag sauce and cheese?

    What kind if pizza? Deep dish, spinach or sausage? Now I'm making myself hungry lol! One piece should not take you over your limit. Check out the calories before you consume to see where it will put you. At any rate, you should not end your day 1000 calories under your limit.
  • Eat it! There is no reason not to. Don't get the idea that some foods are "forbidden"

    That thought is an unhealthy one :flowerforyou:

    Eat the pizza! As long as you log it, drink plenty of water to flush out the salt and have other healthy stuff with it.

    I have to limit the pizza -- only once a month or so -- I have trouble stopping with just one slice. I had 3 for supper tonight -- yummy but I feel gross! (so I am cured of pizza craving for a few weeks lol!)
    I also make tortilla pizzas sometimes -- very yummy! (and without the side effects!)

    What topping pizza and from where? A typical medium 1-slice pepperoni pizza is between 220-260 calories. If your still 1000 cals under your goal, 1 or 2 slices won't do any damage. Just make sure you find out the caloric value of the pizza you plan to consume.

    Why do those of you who don't eat pizza think that you can't? It's all about calories in < calories out :huh:


    You need fats and (some) carbs. . . .I don't get it.

    I understand the dilemma! I've lost weight while still eating cake because I stick to my calorie totals, but certain foods now leave me feeling heavy and gross, especially if I eat too much at one time.

    Eat the pizza! You have to learn how to eat Pizza if you plan on eating it once you reach your goal. Eat it slowly, savor each bite.

    No secret. Just Calories In < Calories Out and regular moderate exercise. Also patience and consistency because 50 lbs don't fall off over night.
