Who said you can’t have pizza and lose weight? Honestly: There are such extremes when it comes to nutrition, which is why I live by the 80/20 rule! 80% of the time I eat nourishing, whole foods that are lower in calories. The other 20% I satisfy cravings with FUN foods like pizza and ice cream!
When it comes to pizza, you can have a delicious, regular slice from your local pizza shop without gaining weight. And when I go to New York City this week… you bet your ass I want a slice of pepperoni pizza! That’s because as long as you focus on eating pizza mindfully, stopping when you’re full and making it a FUN treat (not an every day habit), you can lose weight stress free.
At the same time, I’ve also discovered that finding healthy food swaps for my fave FUN foods allows me to indulge without ruining my progress! You can still fit a regular slice of pizza into your weight loss goals without guilt if you are AWARE of the nutrition it provides, however this recipe is lower calorie and helps you eat pizza without adding extra calories and fat that may hold you back from weight loss!
