Is pizza a no-no in the Zone
? Well, no food is actually forbidden on the Zone
Diet - indulgences are accommodated, as
long as you get right back on the Zone track with your next meal or
snack.
Here's Dr. Sears' take on pizza: "You can still eat pizza in the
Zone. It's not the highest-quality meal, but it's OK on occasion," he
says. "Opt for thin crust over thick, and make sure you have a
protein-rich topping like cheese, chicken, or even anchovies. Then eat
the topping of every slice, but only eat every other crust. To make
your pizza more satisfying, order extra vegetables as a topping."
With a little tinkering, you can actually create a snack that has
the taste of pizza, while keeping you in the Zone. Try this pita
"pizza," for instance, which takes just a minute to prepare:
