Diet Plateau and What to Do
Dear Editor,
I want to lose weight and burn
more fat but I really like pizza. I probably eat
pizza 3 to 4 times per week and I love it. I’m
32 years old and I weigh a little over 180
pounds. How many calories are in a slice of
pizza and can I lose weight eating pizza 3 times
a week.
Dear
Visitor,
The
average slice of pizza is about 300 calories and
50 grams of carbs.
A slice of pizza
typically ranges in calories from 200 to 400
calories per slice depending on the crust and
toppings. The thinner the crust, the less
calories the pizza tends to have but the
toppings also increase or lower the calories
from the average.
As much as you love pizza, I
would recommend that you avoid pizza and make
better food selection if you want to lose
weight. Pizza is purely a junk food. The crust
is usually made from white flour and the
toppings tend to be heavy cheese and other fatty
meats. This causes a heavy spike in blood sugar
and subsequent insulin levels, which makes
burning your fat reserve a lot harder.
If you
just have to have
pizza,
stick to one slice per week. Pick a day of the
week when you can eat pizza and buy it one slice
at a time. Don’t
tempt yourself
buying a whole pizza and eating a little at a
time or else you’ll end up eating the entire
pizza or most of it.
