Pizza is often the worst thing you can eat. But there are options that can make that pie a decent dietary option.\"healthy<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve recently taken to making homemade pizza. Sure, it saves a little money as opposed to ordering takeout, but I also have fun kneading the dough and spreading the toppings myself. I’ve yet to graduate to throwing the dough in the air, which could be pretty scary stuff.<\/p>\n

I’m not hear to tell you that what I make is the ultimate health food. I try my best to mimic a secret family recipe that has a sweet flakey pie-like crust (it remains under lock and key, no matter how hard we try to pry). But, I’m not so sure it’s altogether unhealthy either. I make it with a super thin crust, and I load it up with tons of mushrooms<\/a> and chopped green peppers. And I go fairly easy on the cheese. There’s little to complain about.<\/p>\n

The problem I face is that since it’s not your usual greasy pizza<\/a>, and it has such a tasty sweet crust, I have to fight the urge like crazy to overindulge. My advice to you would be to experiment and research low-calorie options. Pizza doesn’t have to be a death knell to your diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
