Pizza is it a no go?

I have the same book! Not tried the recipe out yet though is it good?

I like it and so does my other half. Its really filling so if i have anything with it, its usually salad. Try it see what you think

If someone told me you’re diabetic now you can’t have pizza life wouldn’t be worth living. I joke of course but it’s like everything else try it and learn from it. When I eat a pizza I’ll eat half now (used absolutely demolish a 14 inch) and have it with some salad as it seems to help the digestion I can do either all up front or half and half but that was because of my insulin ratio changing. There’s a lot of carbs and fat in pizza so the fat will slow down the carbs being digested it probably best to do it half and half. Don’t be scared to eat whatever you want the insulin is there to help you achieve that. Now let’s talk toppings my classic is pepperoni jalapeños and peppers, what’s yours?

I love pizza and if i go out i'd have a thin based one. I do worry still about how much insulin i would need though, i was diagnosed 2 years ago and still worry about making mistakes. I eat the low carb one as its tasty and easy enough to make though (and i'd like to keep my weight down although its crept up a bit during lockdown). Hhhmmmm...toppings....where do i start..pepperoni, salami, olives, jalapenos, peppers, onions......

I told my son if you have to have takeaway food out of all the choices ie Kentucky, chippy, Indian, Chinese, pies, anything or pizza don't have the pizza!

I'm not sure if we're allowed to discuss products on here but I had a quick look at the rules and can't see anything that says not to (although my attention/focus is not 100% today so apologies if I've missed it). I've used a product called Lo-Dough to make pizzas at home and I've really liked it. You buy them online directly from the company. They're low calorie and low carb so you can concentrate on adding toppings to whatever fits your eating. They can be used for other things too (wraps, bread substitute etc), but I've not had great success doing that, but as a pizza it's great. Downside is they're quite expensive (although not as much as a takeaway pizza), so I would recommend giving them a bash if your son is missing pizza!

Initially I just bought the pack of two to see if I liked them but I bought the pack of 8 the second time because they're handy to have. The texture when you take them out of the packet is a bit like thin loft insulation haha but when it's cooked it just tastes like a thin crust pizza (to me, anyway!).
