Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2005new person looking for pizza crust
Hey all! Brand new low carber here. I've done my share of low carb diets in the past, most often the 'cyclic ketogenic diet'. It worked well, but at the time there just weren't many options for a low-carb dieter. Today, the low-carb options spurred me to start again. I *finally* read the Atkin's book and am following his recommendations. I'm at the end of my 2-wk induction and have been doing fine. No cravings, and continual weight loss. The last few days I haven't changed much, but I noticed my weight has stabilized. It hasn't really changed the last few days. I was worried I had somehow knocked myself out of ketosis, but I splurged on some keto strips and checked. Still good. I'll just keep plugging and see what happens. Anyway, I checked out the newsgroup recipe listing and found "Melissa’s Pizza Crust". Has anyone tried this or have a favorite they like? My family had pizza tonight and it's my one weakness. Donuts, cake, candy I can leave. Pizza I like. It wasn't torture or anything but it would be nice. I've lurked for a week, but am still figuring out the sig lines. ;) 260/245/220 220 is my goal for my birthday in April. I'll probably set my final goal at around 200 when I re-evaluate. Thanks all!

If I'm at a meeting that has pizza (its at every meeting) I eat the cheese and meat that way the smell isn't killing me. I can live with out the crust on pizza but pasta is the hard thing for me. :o) You might find a few no crust pizza recipes around that might be a better choice for now. Good Luck!!

The impressive loss most people see during induction is mostly due to water being shed. Now that you have used up the glycogen store in your liver (and it's associated water), the body has turned to dietary and body fat to burn for fuel. Weight loss of 1-2 lbs/week is GOOD. You may lose more than that, but that would be an added plus, and it does slow down as you get closer to goal.

Especially as a potato salad replacement. The Pizza crust recipe had been around a while. Give it a try. My opinion on it was so so. It's tough to imitate real crust. What can you lose? (Fat huh?) Enjoy Cauliflower Pizza Crust - from Mary Whitney 1 head cauliflower 1 ball mozzarella cheese 2 eggs I steamed the cauliflower and put it in the food processor and came out with about 3 cups or so of processed cauliflower. Grated up the cheese and added 1 cup of cheese and the 2 eggs to the cauliflower and mixed well. If the cauliflower is still fairly warm it will begin to melt the cheese which helps keep it together. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick stuff and spread out the cauliflower mixture. Put your favorite low carb toppings and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. It makes about 4 servings, at least there are 4 of us and when dinner was over it was gone! I think it would reheat well in the nuker as well. The carb count will vary with your sauce and any other toppings. I'm figuring it's about 7-10 carbs per serving?

I had seen the meat recipes for "crust", but they didn't appeal to me. I'm more likely to get a veggie lover pizza than a meat lovers. I have a head of cauliflower in my fridge now, so I'll probably give this a try sometime this week. I'm starting to add my 5gms/wk starting this week, so a piece of this might be on my list. ;) Thanks! Mark Hey Mark! When I make pizza, (I make my own sauce), I put whatever type of meat I'm using-pepperoni and sausage OR shrimp-into a small casserole with a bit of the sauce-either red sauce, alfredo or pesto- cover it with some cheese and bake until its bubbly. That way, my family can have their pizza and I dont have to "skin it"... Glitter Girl > Hey all! > Brand new low carber here.

Not a good plan until you've worked your way up the adding carbs tree, but I use a low-carb bread mix as a base, then split it 4 ways; makes my total carb intake for the meal something like 40g, OK if I've had a low-carb day otherwise. The meatza thing is good, but didn't touch the pizza cravings... Nicky. SignatureA1c 10.5/5.7/<6 Weight 95/78/72Kg 1g Metformin, 87.5ug Thyroxine T2 DX 05/2004 |
