Eating a balanced meal using the flavors that you love might be a challenge to you. If you are not used to thinking outside of the box, then you might need to start. To most people, pizza is a white crust with sauce, a lot of cheese, and pepperoni on top. That is probably what most people remember from childhood. Childhood habits like this can change. Balance and moderation are the keys to living a healthy lifestyle. Meals should not be all vegetables, because you would never have the energy to do your exercise. Meals should not be all protein and fat, because then you will have a heart attack in a few years and losing weight will no longer matter. Finding balance and eating those balanced foods in moderation is that way to go. Pizza is one of those foods that could easily be made into a balanced diet food. You should of course start with the crust. The crust can be made from a variety of components. You could use a traditional crust but make it with part whole-wheat flour and part white. You could use pita bread for the crust or some other type of bread or mixture that can be crisped. Try to find something that is lower in carbohydrates and or calories than the traditional crust. Most people would probably not think that the sauce is anything to worry about. The reality is that it really is something to think about. Many sauces that come from a can may have a lot of added sugar. To avoid this problem you might want to make your own using tomato paste. By doing this, you can regulate the sugar added. The cheese is probably one of the best parts of a pizza. A lot of people eat it with only sauce and cheese. Most people use an Italian cheese for the top. Some might add a little yellow cheese to the mix. As you consider the cheese, think low fat. Part skim mozzarella may just do the trick. The rest of the toppings are your preference. If you want to keep it healthy, you might want to stick with all veggies. Add a few red pepper flakes to boost the flavor and make you feel full faster too. If you are going to choose meat, you might consider Canadian bacon. There are so many options and ways to make a pizza healthy. You could really eat it for every meal in a different healthy way. Start by thinking out of the box, and you will be on your way to a healthy new way of eating. Hungry for Annandale pizza?
