How far out did you have some?

16 months and no pizza so far...

5 months for me but I can only have a tiny slice so it really isn't worth it.

I skip the crust entirely. I had my first pizza at about 9 weeks out, but went with toppings only. The crust is really unimportant and takes up valuable space you need for the nurtrient richer tasty stuff! I ate the toppings off of one and half slices of pepperoni, mushroom, onion, and hamburger with extra cheese. It was awesome awesome and I even dropped a pound the day after Had I eaten the crust, I probably would have stalled or gained. My friend ate the rest of the pizza

You can also put pizza toppings in a Portobello mushroom and have a no carb version.

Sounds delish, just note that shrooms (veggies) do have carbs. Better carbs than crust, but still carbs

I make such a mess with my pizza toppings that it doesn't matter if the shrooms are on the top or the bottom LOL. It all goes in the same place!

I make my own pizza with either fat head crust or flatout wraps. Pizza isn't really my thing but I try to have it every now and then to add variety to my food choices so I don't get bored. I use turkey pepperoni, and chicken Italian sausages. I also use a low carb pizza sauce.

I'm sure I've posted this elsewhere but here 'tis again...

For a 'healthier' alternative, us the type of base that @@OutsideMatchInside

mentions, or simply a wholegrain tortilla...

Add some lite cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and a sprinkle of bitey Pecorino Romano...

Dry fry the bottom in a frypan then slip under the grill to brown the cheese...

It aint real pizza...

But it aint real bad...

Wonton wrappers!

I've seen a cauliflower crust recipe a few times online. Haven't tried it though. I'm sure a google search would find it. To answer the question, I didn't eat pizza for a year. It was my goal to not have any cheat foods for 1 year, mostly just to prove to myself that I could do it. I had a small slice twice since then, both times when I was on vacation in Vegas.

@@SuperDave Wow. I manage to only have cheat food once every 4 weeks or so (none before 4 months post op) and I thought I was doing well.

1 yr is awesome! I will tell myself if you had PMS every 28 days you may not have achieved it

Great work .

Oh, and even though I live 8000 miles away, even I know that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

I'm a toppings only too. There's no way I could finish a slice of pizza if I ate the crust too.

Oh yeah - sorry about that! I am allowed any veggies just not simple carbs so I never consider them as carbs. :-)

I use a low carb tortilla and make bar pizza in a cast Iron skillet. LOVE this recipe (below) and once you get the technique down, it tastes like a lovely crisp thin crust pizza and I can usually eat two pieces, so I get two meals out of it - which is super as I loved cold leftover pizza just as much as fresh!

I use a low carb spaghetti sauce, but only about one tablespoon because I don't like lots of sauce anyway and they tend to have lots of hidden sugar in them. I tend to either make my own, or get something like Aldi's organic line marinara as it is much lower carb than most. We top them with things like roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, turkey pepperoni, black olives, fresh basil and spinach and lots of mozzarella.

There's a chicken crust pizza recipe floating around out there that sounds interesting to me. I'm sure it can't take the place of real pizza, but it'll be chock full of protein!

@@FrankiesGirl Thanks for that recipe - looks delicious!!!
