Replace the flour crust with something healthier.
We all know well that flour is a natural enemy of those trying to lose weight. And since pizza is a flour-based dish, it is normal for traditional pizza to make us gain weight if consumed in excess.
In order to be able to eat the whole pizza and reduce the excess flour a bit, our recommendation is to make the pizza with dough based on cauliflower, sweet potato, carrot and aborigine. Yes… We know what you are thinking; this does not sound very pizza. But do not be fooled by appearances, its flavor is unique and very enjoyable, not to mention that it is an excellent way to reduce the calories that a traditional pizza brings.
You should eat all the pizza at a slow pace.
It’s a trick that seems absurd the first time you read it. How can slowing down our swallowing speed help? Well, believe it or not, it only takes about 20 minutes for the feeling of being satisfied to reach our brain.
If we continue to eat the pizza during that time, despite feeling full, it helps us avoid binge eating. It’s a very cool and functional hack for any pastry, not just pizza.
Experiment with the ingredients, try new, healthier combinations.
Traditional pizza is prepared with many fatty ingredients. Which leads to it being high in calories? For this reason, the recommendation is to replace the fatty ingredients with others that work as an equivalent, or failing that, discard some that are not dispensable for a pizza.
An example would be to replace the cheese with a much lighter and healthier one, with which the essence of the pizza is maintained but without ceasing to be the same. It may seem like a complex task, but at the moment of truth it is not. It’s just a matter of doing a little research and playing with the flavors.
Spicy as a way to avoid excess calories.
Although not everyone likes spicy food, things may change after learning the following information. Thanks to various studies it has been proven that those people who consume spicy tend to eat fewer calories than those who do not.
Clearly it is not necessary to fill the pizza with spice, just enough and necessary so that it is left with a spicy touch. This will not only help you with what we already mentioned. But also to eat at a much slower pace. As explained in the previous point, this also helps us not to gain weight while we eat all the pizza.
To eat the whole pizza, try using coconut flour.
Remember when we discussed looking for substitutes for traditional pizza ingredients? Well, if you are looking for an alternative to flour, this is undoubtedly the best. Coconut flour provides much less carbohydrates than conventional flour. Not to mention that it is up to 10 times more fibrous than the same. I think there is no need to say more about this point, what you are waiting for to incorporate coconut flour into your pizza recipe!
May the sauce abound.
As a last tip, soak your pizza in tomato sauce. Reason? Tomato sauce is rich in lycopene, not to mention that you can make the sauce yourself. So you can calculate how healthy it will be without the need and incorporate other substances.
