5 ways to make your pizza skinny –

People love pizza. But he also loves to decrease a few centimeters on the mannequin. So, we exchanged the high-calorie ingredients of traditional recipes for lighter versions. Just follow these 5 steps:

1. Use a thin dough – it can be a flatbread opened in half.

2. Prefer whole-grain pasta which, due to its associated fibers, is more satisfying and reduces the glycemic load (GL) of the pizza.

3. Add lean protein (light cheese and egg) to the topping. They are low-fat ingredients. In addition, the protein also holds back the speed with which the carbohydrate in the pasta is transformed into blood sugar. You know: the faster this process happens, the greater the production of insulin, the hormone that causes the body to accumulate fat.

4. Serve with leafy greens. By adding fiber, they also reduce the glycemic load of the pizza.

5. Sprinkle with seeds (chia, sunflower, sesame). They are a source of fiber and good fat – the latter nutrient also lowers the GL of pizza.
