Slice of Pizza

okay, for my birthday i had a slice of pizza - just couldn't help it! today is that last day of week 4 (2wks on Ph 1 and 2 wks on Ph 2). am i now doomed to cravings? it wasn't my plan, but there it was ... i'll blame it on the glass of champagne!
by the way, is there such a thing as whole wheat pizza?

Everyone is different, one slice of pizza wouldn't cause any cravings for me (I never really had true carb "cravings" before SBD either, I had mainly emotional eating issues) But I guess it could for some people.
YES, there is whole wheat pizza! But you probably won't find it in a restaurant or store. We make our own ww pizza about once a week, the kids love it, and my dh prefers it over regular pizza crust!
Here's my recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 - 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
I put it in the bread machine on "dough" setting, then roll it out, add toppings and bake on pizza stone @ 400 for about 15 min.
Also, they make a SBD frozen pizza - there are 3 or 4 varieties (cheese, pepperoni, grilled chicken, etc.) in the freezer section of most supermarkets. They are pretty good! Also Amy's Organic makes a frozen ww pizza that is legal (though its hard to find in my area)

Just curious, but why would a real, 100% whole wheat crust need to be an "occasional" thing? We make ours at home, so I know exactly what is in it - we use sugar-free tomato sauce, low-fat/fat free cheese, TONS of veggies on it, and have it with salad. I always counted it just like I would a serving of any other whole wheat bread product. We do it at least once a week, I don't see any problem with it (and I don't think its hurt my weight loss any)
Just wondering!

MichaelAnn, if you are making it yourself (and know the ingredients, including the cheese) then you're right - Enjoyed with vegetables, this is a fine meal.

I could see how it could be tough for some people to just have one piece, so then yeah - it probably wouldn't be a good thing to have all the time for them. I've gotten used to it just being a "side dish" rather than the main part of my meal and only have one slice.
Thanks Susan!
