Anytime I tried a new diet, I’d always research what I could & could not eat. This way of living worked for a very short time. I’d cut x, y & z from my life- a month later I’d go crazy, eat everything under the sun & gain ALL the weight I’d lost. I had very little self-control, but I was also depriving myself from the foods I loved. So now, to make my life hella easy– I plan my meals in advance & I eat what I want, when I want (so long as I have the calories available).
Since I’ve let go of all deprivation, I now focus on alternative ways to make the food I love so I can be happy while maintaining my figure. And you know what makes me happy????
Pizzzaaa!!
The good news is, as usual, this recipe is very practical & guaranteed to satisfy your pizza needs without all the extra crap. Plot twist- there’s no bad news– but it might sound strange that the crust is composed of egg whites & coconut flour lol. Hear me out- before you shut me down. Egg whites are rich in protein, cholesterol-free, they help regulate blood pressure levels, lowers the risk of heart disease.. I mean do I really need to go on here? The benefits are crazzzzzy– in a good way! And don’t we all want to live to 100 years? Um, I do! Continue scrolling if you want to live a strong & healthy life!

- Add as much tomato sauce, cheese & pepperoni's as you'd like.
- Once oven is hot & ready, place pizzas in oven for about 10 minutes.
- When you see the cheese melted & pepperoni edges browned, remove from the oven & place on heat resistant mat.

THIS. IS. PIZZA. GOOOALS!
With 18g of protein, 6.6g of carbs & 11.3g of fat- this is a no brainer! To put things in perspective, the average cheese slice from a pizzeria is 285 cals. Just a slice! That’s more than one whole protein pie (including all the toppings I added). I hope this post inspires you & proves that you too- can eat whatever you want, whenever you want! Bon appétit boo!
