This pizza recipe is a great way to get your HCG diet on. It’s quick and easy, and the taste is out of this world!
Try our delectable 7-minute phase 4-pizza recipe, which can be prepared in six different ways. You may eat moderate amounts of carbohydrates with your meals now that you’re on HCG Diet Maintenance (Phase 4). Pizza is one of my favorite “comfort meals.” I worried whether I’d ever be able to eat pizza again after losing all my weight on the hCG diet. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I’m going to show you how to create a tasty 7-minute HCG Phase 4 Pizza with all of your favorite toppings plus a couple combinations you may not have thought of. Carbohydrate control is one of the keys to long-term success with the hCG diet. When I speak about acceptable carb portions, I’m referring to an approach in which a carbohydrate serving is paired with a larger or equal quantity of protein and a little amount of fat.
When I developed my Phase 4 Pizza recipe, I wanted something fast and simple that would retain the delightful crunch of a crisp, thin crust pie while reducing the amount of carbs in the pizza. A simple whole grain tortilla creates a wonderful, crispy, thin crust pizza that helps you control your carbohydrates. If you have a gluten or wheat intolerance, opt for a rice or other gluten-free grain-based tortilla instead.
Next, choose your favorite sauce and get creative by piling it high with low-carb ingredients like fresh veggies, herbs, meats, and a cheese mix of your choice. It’s also a wonderful way to make use of leftover roasted chicken or beef. This HCG Phase 4 pizza dish is quick to make and delicious for the entire family.
Choose your dipping sauce
Making your own Phase 4 Pizza sauce from scratch with fresh ingredients is the finest choice. In the future, I’ll provide recipes for easy low-carb sauces on HCGRecipes.com. If you’re going to use a pre-made or store-bought sauce, make sure it’s sugar-free and low in carbs.
- Sauce marinara (you can use a quality spaghetti sauce if you are pressed for time or make your own)
- Olive oil with herbs from Italy (Lightly brush your tortilla crust with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian herbs and a pinch of salt.)
- Sauce with pesto
- Alfredo sauce is a kind of sauce that is prepared using (homemade is best but you can also use quality store bought alfredo sauce too)
Prepare your garnishes.
- cheese, grated
- Cut your veggies, onions, garlic, and other ingredients into thin slices.
- Select your meats and shred or slice them into bite-sized chunks.
Directions
Choose your sauce and toppings before putting together your pizza. Place your loaded Phase 4 Pizza straight on the rack in a toaster oven. Toast your pizza for 1-2 cycles, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling and the edges are golden brown. If you want to avoid scorching the edges, you may cover them in foil.
