    What's wrong with pizza? Keep eating it. Don't limit yourself.

    I have a serving of thin crust veggie pizza and a small glass of wine every week or 2--never more than 500 calories. I am on 1200 calories per day, so that seems reasonable to me. I add a sprinkle of hot peppers eat it super slowly and enjoy every single bite. This allows me to go out to dinner with my family or have friends over to the house. I order a whole one, but since I have a 14 year old in my house, getting rid of the leftovers is never a problem.

    You WONT stop eating pizza. There is a big difference. Man up and take responsibility for your actions.

    Even if you stay within your calorie limit pizza every day is bad. What is bad is the combination of fats and carbs together in a pizza (carbs through glycolysis is the default energy producer. Thus all the fats get stored. And plus if there's extra carbs that you consume per day they will be converted to fat). Either you go low carb or you go low fat. Pizza, pasta etc generally is high in both.
    My way to combat this .... since I am in a ketogenic diet these days
    1. There is a recipe for cauliflower pizza crust that is delicious. I was skeptical at first until I tasted it. Since I am on a ketosis diet I add all the fats, cheese, meat on top of the crust and bake it for 20 minutes and I now have pizza
    2. A pizza crust made out of almond flour and psyllium husk. Yummmmm
    If you look around the web you can ding alternatives.

    OR
    Do the normal pizza dough with no cheese, fats, very little meat with lots of vegetables.

    Huh, what? (Cauliflower crust is not delicious.)

    Maybe you could try making your own pizza at home, using lower calorie ingredients :):)

    1. If it has cauliflower, it's a vegetable casserole, not pizza
    2. gross

    OR
    Eat pizza EVERY DAY if you can fit it in your calories and macro-nutrient requirements. You can make pizza fit your macros daily.

    try making it on flat-out bread with low fat mozarella. it's not quite as satisfying, but it'll do the job for about the same calories as one slice of pizza. recently, i've been getting thin crust, light cheese pizza from papa-johns, which is about 300 calories a slice. i ask them to to cut into squares. by the time I have 4 squares filling my small paper plate, i feel like i'm having a good amount of pizza, but it comes out to like 1.5-2 slices worth.

    Just fit it into your calories. Nothing wrong with pizza a couple of times a week.

    i make my own pizza using the flat out multigrain flat bread. it only has 100 calories and then i can add my own sauce, cheese, and toppings. it's a healthier alternative for a bonafide pizza addict who is trying to lose weight!

    I can't make it but great work girl B)

    And why would you stop? Moderation my friend, moderation. You can eat anything you want just use good judgment, like ordering a slice or a small pie instead of a large. Opt to make your own. Good luck man!

    Wtf slice !!!! R u kidding man :):)

    Lunch today was a slice of Whole Foods pizza and a big salad - it was delicious, and under 500 calories!

    That's good but one slice is not enough for me o:)o:)

    I make pita pizzas. I just take a whole grain pita and add all the pizza goodness and pop in the oven until the cheese is melted and I like it better than regular pizza now

    Barely any of this is true. You can eat pizza every day as long as it fits in your macros and micros. Carbs are the default energy, yes, but if you're still in a calorie deficit this doesn't matter because your body will use up whatever food you've eaten (be it carbs, fat or protein) then use up your fat stores, making you lose weight. You could literally eat pure sugar and butter and still lose weight as long as you're under calories - though you'd feel terrible and wouldn't get the right nutrients! Extra carbs will not be turned into fat if you eat less calories than you burn. If you're over calories then it doesn't matter if you went over on carbs, fat or protein - you'll gain the same amount of weight either way.
    You do not have to go low carb or low fat to lose weight. This is not necessary.
