Thin Crust Pizza – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

The day started very very early (so early, it was dark) with my last serving of raspberry noosa and a few almond slivers on top.

For late breakfast I had a bowl of peanut butter and jelly banana soft serve.

For first lunch I had a bowl of vegetable soup (photo on yesterday’s post) and then a couple of hours later I shared some thin crust pizza with Josh.

For dinner I made a big batch of tomato soup with sour cream and grilled cheese paninis. I was out of regular broth so I had to use a pho starter broth which gave the soup a more citrusy sort of taste. It was really good and so easy to make! Just two large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 onlion + 7 cloves of garlic sauteed in olive oil, 4 Cups of broth, salt to taste and then about 1/4 c. sour cream. I used my immersion blender to make it smooth and creamy.

Yesterday was a food-heavy (dairy heavy!) day for me, but it wasn’t out of control. I’m finding a nice place where I’m never really full or really hungry and this prevents 95% of my urges to overeat or binge. I’m also eating frequent, smaller meals, throughout the day, which is something I never thought would work for me, but it is. I’m learning to get over my food fears and stop worrying so much. And everyday I remind myself that being consistent will get me there and to trust the process. I’m trusting that I don’t have to starve myself, or eat foods that I don’t like to lose weight. I just need a lot less of it.

I did a lot of strength and resistance-band work yesterday and followed with some much needed deep cleaning. I’m in the process of totally cleaning the house inside and out and it’s turning into a nice workout.

10 Extra Smart Food Switching Tips for Weight Loss

One of the tricks to losing weight while still enjoying your favorite foods is to get rid of the extra calories in your favorite foods while still keeping the “comfort food” aspect. If you give it some thought, you will most likely find many ways to do this with your favorite recipes and cultural comfort foods – or even your favorite fast foods.

1. One big calorie savings for me was to buy an air popper for pop corn. You can, if you want, sprinkle it with something flavorful spice like chili powder or another favorite spice, or even a product like Molly McButter if you miss that buttery flavor. This switch is good when you want something savory and crunchy.

2. At Papa John’s Pizza, you can save 50 calories a slice by ordering the Thin Crust Pizza with Pepperoni (260 calories a slice) instead of the Original Crust Pizza with Pepperoni (310 calories a slice). Every little bit helps!

3. Chili’s Restaurants make a wonderful onion dish called the Awesome Blossom and serve it with an great sauce. But, even if you share it with three friends, the calorie count is very high. You would be better off getting an order of onion rings at a fast food joint to get that “onion” craving out of your system.

4. At Wendy’s if you want to save calories and are getting tired of always having to chose Chicken, you will be happy to know that you will save 300 calories if you order a Junior Cheeseburger instead of a Chicken Club Sandwich. That will be a big help when you’re looking’ for the beef!

5. At Quizno’s Subs, their Baja Chicken small sub with cheese and dressing weighs in at 490 calories whereas their Chicken Carbonara small sub gives you a calorie boost to 570 calories! A saving of 80 calories!

6. Craving cheese but think you must always give it up? Not so at Applebee’s. You can save 805 calories by eating their Tortilla Chicken Melt (from their Appetizer menu) instead of their Fiesta Lime Chicken.

7. At Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, if you go for an Original Pretzel at 370 calories you will save 80 calories over the Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel.

8. Back to Wendy’s! An easy way to save 250 calories is to have their Garden Sensations Caesar Chicken Salad instead of the Southwest Taco Salad.

9. At the world-famous White Castle, you can save 131 calories by swapping Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (169 calories) for their French Fries (300 calories). And, if you substitute the Double Bacon Cheeseburger (360 calories) with the Double White Castle burger (290 calories) you will save another 70 calories.

10. I love Del Taco, and there are wise choices that can be made here, too. For example, if you chose to have a 1/2 Pound Green Burrito (430 calories) you will save 620 calories over the Macho Combination Burrito (1030 calories)! Also, their fantastic Chicken Taco Del Carbon (170 calories) is a better choice than their Steak Taco Del Carbon (220 calories).

Don’t be afraid to eat out at your favorite food establishments, just order intelligently.
