Instructions on how to eat pizza to not be fat

We often can't resist the appeal of pizza but still worry about our weight.

The following tips will help you feel more comfortable when enjoying pizza:

1. Call thin casters

Most of the harms of pizza are in the crust, because they are not only filled with calories but also have no nutritional value. The dough will increase the insulin concentration, making you want to eat more. So, it is better to call thin casters instead of thick base cake or filling stuffing.

2. Request pizza to cut into double pieces

Pizza is usually cut into 8 pieces, but you can request cutting into 16 pieces. Eat one piece at a time and just eat more when you're really still hungry. If you eat pizza with a dish that is as full as chicken salad, you may not need to eat more pizza. This tip also saves you money.

3. Absorb oil

When you see the floating oil on the cheese surface, soak it all out to avoid adding about 50 more calories to your body.

4. Avoid salt meat and increase lean protein content

Increasing the amount of protein in pizza will help you get better, which means lowering the risk of eating a few other pieces, because not all protein sources are good. Classic pizzas like pepperoni, bacon and sausages are full of unhealthy saturated fat and salt. Please skip and choose the roasted chicken, ham or fish.

5. Eat more dishes instead of just eating pizza

When ordering, reduce the number of pizza and order more nutritious items such as vegetables, chicken salad or shrimp, or small meatballs. In this way, everyone in the dining table will enjoy many different flavors without adding too many empty calories.

6. Use pizza on a small plate

Research shows that people tend to eat more when meals are placed on large plates. Eating on a small plate will fool the brain, making you think you've eaten more.

7. Make your own sauce when baking pizza at home

Canned sauces can carry huge amounts of sugar. The safest option is to make your own sauce. If you don't have time or want to use ready-made sauce, find out the nutritional composition of the product before buying.

8. Be careful with eggplant

You should use pizza with vegetables, but not all vegetables are healthy. Eggplant is usually fried before being put into the cake, so it is not beneficial.

9. Avoid cheese pizza or deep pizza

Pizza has a cheese coating on the surface so there is really no need for the cheese inside the crust. Another type you should not call a deep pizza, because more surface area means more calories, while the taste is no different.

10. Add vegetables

You can reduce the blood sugar index of pizza, a measure of the rapid rise in blood sugar for certain foods, by adding fiber and protein. For example, a simple cheese pizza has an index of 80/100, while a lot of vegetable pizza only has 49. Fresh vegetables and lean meat are the best topping types. They help you feel full and full longer.

11. Replace white flour with coconut flour when making bread crust

If you make your own pizza at home, use coconut powder to make a crust instead of the usual white flour. Coconut powder not only contains less carbohydrate but 11 times more fiber.

12. Increase the spiciness

You can increase your metabolism and 'fool yourself' by eating less cake by increasing the pungency of the pizza. Add pepper or chili to achieve these benefits.

13. Use pizza with tomato sauce

The biggest health benefit of pizza comes from tomato sauce. Recent studies have found that they are resistant to prostate cancer. The monotonous white pizza has eliminated this benefit, so order traditional pizza with tomato sauce.

14. Reduce the amount of cheese

Calling pizza half a cheese is a simple way to cut down on saturated fat.
