Diet & Nutrition Tip: Pizza & Weight Loss?

have another cool diet & nutrition tip for you, and no, I am not on medication!

It's true, there is pizza that you can eat and still lose weight!

I was looking around to see if I can find a good recipe for healthy pizza, and the following is the best recipe I found based on nutritional value....

Here is a recipe for a delicious and nutritious pizza from Ron of Ron's Recipes:

Healthy Easy Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

This recipe is simple. You'll need a double Chef Boy-Ar-Dee pizza mix, and follow its instructions for mixing the dough. Here's where Ron's Recipes customizes it for low-fat deliciousness:

Additional ingredients:

• 8 oz. grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup Italian blend grated hard cheese
• 1 package Turkey pepperoni
• 2 tsp. oregano, or blended Italian seasoning
• Olive oil
• Fresh squeezed garlic, about three cloves

When the recipe on the box says to use vegetable oil, substitute olive oil instead. Spread the dough out on an oiled pizza pan. The box says you're making two pizzas, fuggedaboutit. You're making one BIG, THICK-CRUSTED pizza!

Pour the sauce on, then place the turkey pepperoni all over the sauce. I start in the middle and spiral outwards. Next, sprinkle the crushed garlic all over. Now add the mozzarella. Next, the blended grated hard cheese, about a half-cup. Now, sprinkle the oregano or Italian blend all over, about a couple of teaspoons' worth. Feel free to add the Parmesan cheese that came in the mix as well.

I bake mine at the recommended temperature for exactly 22 minutes. That makes the crust just a healthy shade of brown.

This big pizza will serve 4-5, and the leftovers are DELICIOUS when warmed up!

Now, tell me that doesn't sound delicious!

Take it from me, with weight loss, don't deprive yourself of your favorite foods. Just adjust what it is you used to eat to something a lot more healthier to successfully lose weight, but still not feel deprived.
