I'm currently on my 2 weeks before surgery low carb diet and was really craving my favorite pizza. I decided to recreate it as a small casserole since the bread is most of the carbs. I measured and entered in all the ingredients in MFP recipe section. It turned out fabulous and I didn't miss the bread potion at all, best of all it fit within my carb limits for the day.
Tonight I am making a lasagna with zucchini instead of pasta noodles. While I still have to keep my portions very small I'm surprised how much I don't have to give up on a low carb diet and how much flavor I can still enjoy.
This gives me a lot of hope for the future sleeved me. I know that I don't have to completely give up all my favorite foods and I can find ways to recreate healthier versions that both my husband and I can enjoy.

We found a recipe where you use small slices of Canadian bacon as the pizza crust. It's delicious and has a lot of protein. We have it at least 1-2 times weekly now.0
