Fathead Pizza/Crackers anyone?



Recommended Posts

I was looking for a recipe to use with leftovers and I came across Fathead dough on Ditchthecarbs.com. Has anybody ever tried this stuff? It looks really good. There are tons of Keto recipes on the site with pics. They even have a low carb kids section, which is awesome, because I've been omitting bread from most meals and I make some weird combos now. 😁

I will be trying this next week, as soon as my new pizza stone arrives from Amazon. I will keep you posted.

I eat it maybe once a quarter. It is too high in calories for the losing phase and very heavy in the stomach. If you are almost at goal or at goal with a good maintenance calorie level, something over 1400, it is great.

Other than that, Flat Out bread, light Italian is better for making pizza. Or just make low carb skillet pizza.

I have to agree with this. I tried a low carb tortilla that had a good amount of Protein 6g, and it was way too filling for my sleeve. I will try again in 6 months.

Well fathead is heavier than a tortilla or flatbread because it is just cheese, egg and almond meal. So you are basically making pizza on a brick of cheese. It is literally heavy and sits in the stomach like a brick.

Flat bread crisps to the point of being like crackers so it breaks down very easy.

No one really should be eating stuff like this before 6 months but just because of the calories etc, it should be saved for close to goal.

Fathead is a good recipe - nice flavor and good substitute for regular crust. Made it several times pre-op. Haven't tried it post-op. It can be dense...

I have never tried this, but was told by my NUT said it was extremely dense and too heavy for your pouch. Maybe oneof those fLatout breads would be better for your pouch?

Sleevers don't have pouches...

I realize that. i have been sleeved also. I meant she said it would be too dense and heavy for either sleeve or pouch.

If someone is over a year, probably not. Probably not even at 6 months. It is dense because it is basically solid cheese, but the density isn't the issue, since you really eat one piece of fat head and that is it.

The calories are too high for a sleever, when there are better lower calorie options.

I like fathead, I make it. I have the calories to spare so it is okay for me. I would just caution people from making it a staple in their eating when they are trying to drop weight. 4 ounces of steak is a better lower calorie option.

Went shopping today, bought the ingredients, waiting for my pizza stone, really looking forward to this. One piece has 220 calories. I don't think it's going to kill me to eat a slice and freeze the rest.

I investigated the Flatouts. They sell them 8 to a package. I'll never finish such a large package before it goes bad. And I'd rather not have the carbs,

I'll keep you posted, should be the middle of next week.

Flatouts last for over a month and you can freeze them.

The crisp up perfectly on a pizza stone.

@gwbicster You are barely a month from surgery neither are appropriate food choices for you. You seem hell bent on sabotaging yourself almost every post I read from you is one bad choice after another. You have a new baby stomach it can not handle this stuff and even if it is, it shouldn't.

I agree that I think it is odd you are allowed bread or Pizza Crust at this early stage. My surgery was 6/12 the day after yours, and I am not allowed bread until August 12, regardless of RNY or VSG. Bread is very soft and can swell into your staple line and it takes awhile for that to heal. Be careful.

It's not bread it's a "crust" made out of almond flour and cream cheese.

I realize that, but it still can swell.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
