ALMOST NO CARB PIZZA RECIPE
A few weeks ago I started following the Atkins Program. I was doing well with it and felt fantastic but I had 1 problem – carb and fruit cravings. While I felt that the Atkins program works for some people, I also felt that obviously, my body was telling me something because the carb cravings were so strong I could have eaten a piece of cardboard.
The crust is not as crisp traditional pizza. Make sure you cook it until the top is golden brown and let it cool the full 10 minutes before adding the toppings and that will help. You still may end up with a fork, but good, soft pizza is better than no pizza!
