How to Make 21 Day Fix Approved Pizza (2024)

FAQs

Can you eat pizza on the 21 day fix? ›

By using whole wheat naan as the “crust” (you can also use pita bread), a little less cheese, and ground turkey/turkey sausage instead of beef or pork, you are good to go in healthy pizza land!

You'll notice that avocado and nuts are at the top of the food list while cheese is at the bottom of the food list. You can use cheese in your blue container every day, but if you hit a weight loss stall you're going to want to switch these foods up a bit.

Technically the guidebook does not mention any cheat meals, but I personally think that it's easier to be motivated to keep it up long term if you are giving yourself some slack. I have never stuck to the nutrition plan with 21 Day Fix 100% and I have still had great results.

Pasta is one of my favorite quick and easy, comfort food meals, and I could never been on a diet that makes me give it up! Thankfully you can still eat pasta on the 21 Day Fix, as long as you measure it according to your yellow container guidelines!

Vincenzo: “An important detail when making the preferment is the temperature of the water you add. For this, I use the rule of 55. You take the number 55 as a starting point and subtract the temperature of the flour and the room temperature. The number that remains is the desired water temperature.

Here's the reasoning behind that rule: Most medium pizzas are cut into eight slices unless otherwise requested. Therefore, each slice comprises 1/8 of the pizza. Since the average hungry person eats three slices of pizza, it follows that you must simply multiply the number of guests by 3/8.

Number of Guests multiplied by 3 ( avg. slices a person eats) then divide that by 8 (avg slices on a large pizza) = how many pizzas you should order. Example: 20 guests X 3 slices each = 60 slices of pizza. Divide 60 slices into 18 and you get 7.5, so you should order 8 pizzas.

Opt for a thin-crust pizza instead of a deep-dish. Skip the stuffed pizza crusts and dipping sauces. Enjoy your slice of pizza with a side salad or cooked vegetables. Top your pizza with lean protein, like chicken strips, instead of processed meat, like pepperoni.

For example, cheese pizza counts in several Pyramid groups: Grains (the crust), Milk (the cheese), and Vegetable (the tomato sauce). You can choose the mixed dishes you like to eat—from fast food places, ethnic restaurants,or “Mom's”kitchen—and still eat the Pyramid way.

The best option is to use real peanut butter. The healthy fats are good for you. However, if you do use PB2 count it as a teaspoon (you can add a little bit more).

Can you have coffee on a 21 day fix? ›

Yes! But (there's always a “but,” right?)… here are the rules about coffee and tea: Unlimited: You can drink all the coffee and tea you want, as long as you only use these Fix-approved add-ins: cinnamon, lemon, pumpkin spice, and nutmeg.

Cheat days mean you can have pizza for breakfast, ice cream for lunch and burgers and fries for dinner! On a cheat day, you are allowed to eat whatever you want. It is possible that you may not count the calories as on a normal day.
