Fighter Diet Pizza, it's not Lou Malnattis, but hey....

The Fighter Diet intrigues me. I have yet to buy any of Pauline's ebooks but I have been Google-ing the concept and tried her "famous" fighter diet pizza last week. She doesn't measure ANYTHING so I had to wing it and the first attempt was a total bust. Second attempt was better, and my third is bound to be even better.

I am stealing the excerpt from her blog and posting it below, then with my comments to follow.

Warning! This “recipe” doesn’t have any info on how much of each ingredient. It doesn’t matter from a calorie point of view, but it does matter when to get the right consistency. Consistency is a trial and error.



Keep in mind that a real pizza with flour is the real deal. No fake pizza will be able to match it unless it’s too good to be true;-) This pizza won’t make your body fat, just full!!!

This is what I do to get my wonderful carbo-fake Fitness pizza:

Mix dry yeast, a lot of oat fiber (I THINK I took 2 cups total for ME and it became a big pizza), 4 tbsp-ish (I THINK it was about that, I didn’t measure up) pulverized psyllium husk, tons of mrs dash’s and a hint of himalayan salt.

Add warm water and mix til it’s a quite loose dough, looking a bit like thick pancake dough. Put it in the microwave in a big glass bowl, full effect 6 minutes.

Spray a coat of fat-spray on aluminum sheet. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Press out the dough to a firm sheet with a spoon. Bake for 6 minutes.

Add tomato sauce, fresh basil, mushrooms (I like dried and soaked), chopped onion and finally Lifetime fat free mozarella cheese. I use the whole block which gives me about 290 calories and 63 grams of protein. Bake until cheese has melt and starts to burn a bit in the edges.

Voila!!!!

Okay, through my trial and error, I figured that 1/4 cup Psyllium, 1/4 cup of Wheat Germ, and 1/2 cup of Oat bran gave a good crust consistency. To season, I used cayenne pepper, a twist of sea salt, dried basil and oregano. I also needed to bake for about 10 minutes. I also only used 1/2 cup of Kraft fat free cheese to her, what I think is, 2 cups.

End result, a decent pizza fix. I will be making it again.
