Since we basically had to get rid of the rest of the veggies in the fridge, I decided to make big salads for lunch and throw together whole wheat English muffin pizzas. I heart how quick and easy English muffin pizzas are. They are literally ready in minutes and come perfectly portioned! A bonus? Kids LOVE to help put them together. The more toppings to add the better! To ours I added diced green pepper, onions, and banana pepper! Then my salad consisted of green leaf lettuce, tomato, carrot, raisins, mozzarella, onion, and green pepper. Safe to say there are now no more veggies in the fridge and we are ready for a grocery shop!
English muffin pizzas are a great way to keep it healthy at home, but what about when you are out at a pizza joint? Eating pizza doesn’t have to be “off limits” when you are trying to lose weight but here are 5 tips to make that pizza healthier!
1. “Have it YOUR way.” As the famous Burger King commercial goes…have it your way! Customize your pizza and be in charge of the toppings. Avoid the heavy meats (sausage, pepperoni, ham) and opt for adding more vegetables. Instead of extra cheese, ask for more sauce and half the amount of cheese, you can always add a few sprinkles of Parmesan!
2. Take a trip to the salad bar. If you entertain your taste buds with a salad first, you are not only contributing to the “5-9 fruits and vegetables daily” recommendation, but you will also be curbing your hunger. By taking the edge off your hunger, you are more likely to eat only a slice or two.
3. Eat slowly. Use a fork and knife to cut your pizza and put utensils down between bites. Enjoy the conversation around you and don’t rush through the meal. The slower you eat, the more time your body will have to process that it’s full!
4. Ask for water. I know this might sound like a “given,” but if you order water or tea for your beverage, you will be saving yourself anywhere from 100-500 calories. I personally would rather EAT then DRINK my calories.
5. Thin Crust Pizza. I am not going to tell you to order thin crust pizza. In my personal opinion, pizza is not pizza without a substantial crust. I think most thin crust pizza tastes like cardboard. Pan or deep dish pizzas get a bad rap because they are baked in lots of excess oils and that can make each slice extra high in fat and calories. My suggestion is to order the regular or original crust and save the pan or deep dish pizzas for an occasional splurge. You could also ask the waitress how the pizza is prepared and see if they might be able to bake with less oil. . (It doesn’t hurt to ask!)
Enjoy Yourself. I’m not going to lie, pizza is one of my favorite foods. When I go out for pizza, I try not to think about the fat and calories. Life is too short. Even if you are trying to lose weight, just watch your portions, and savor every bite!
Actually, I’m not using any plug in’s that make it go faster. Sorry
hi remarkable little site you got there
I am using the same web theme on my own website however for what ever factor it would seem to stream quicker on your site eventhough the one you have features a little more material. Are you currently applying any individual plugins or widgets that will speed it up? Do you think you could quite possibly display the plug ins so I would be able to use them in my website so twilight eclipse users could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and clips swifter I would always be grateful – kudos ahead of time 
great tips, me too I want to eat my calories not drink them, that’s not fun
