Pizza all' Americana - a low-fat version
Health Care Notes
For people with heart disease, diabetes type 2 or for people who are struggling to keep their weight within given values, pizza from a fast food restaurant is something they should definitely stay away from, in all circumstances. These have a very high fat (and caloric) content. Saturated fat is high and favors the synthesis of LDL-Cholesterol (bad cholesterol). It also contains refined flour, which is not the best for blood sugar levels or for one's weight loss target. Why do most of us want to buy a ready-made pizza? What would happen if you could very quickly make a pizza and, this time decide on which ingredients should belong there? Your pizza would end up tasting better than theirs ...with a healthy content ! In order to adjust it to your particular needs, you will be able to modify the recipes with your Chef Goodwizzard TM software by clicking on the "MyCookbook" icon, in the HealthCookBooks" row. After you modify the recipes, always go to the nutrition facts panel to confirm the suitability of the changes you have made.

Low-fat Pizza all' Americana
Heart Health Notes : aim to reduce blood LDL cholesterol levels
The above is a plant based (soy) recipe. Soy provides the same proteins or amino acids as meat. To bring the total fat content down to 10% of calories, one can use an oil sprayer, available in most good drugstores. Soy pepperoni is available in most large grocery stores but may be harder find in at "discount" banners. Do not try to replace the soy pepperoni with meat-based sausages; as they are all very rich in saturated fat. They do NOT qualify as heart-friendly foods. Aim for lower blood cholesterol

Diabetes Diets Notes: Stick to whole grains to reduce blood glucose / sugar peaks
In all your recipes, stick to wholegrain dough such as the wholegrain pita bread. Ask you Doctor or Nutritionist about the total amount of carbohydrate you should eat daily and determine with him/her the quantity you should have at each meal and snack. It is preferable you do not try to do this by yourself. Once you have the information, click on the Wizard Chef TM's "MyProfile" icon and enter that information in the template at the bottom right, these parameters will then be used by the MealPlanner module of your software
Weight Loss / Control Notes: Look out for unwanted hidden calories, in all meal plans
Balance with accompanying dishes so as not to exceed your set caloric intake. Use an oil sprayer similar to the one shown in the "directions", in order to keep the caloric intake down. Why not replace the usual cola with hM tea mix ( 1 bag black Earl Grey + 1 bag green tea ) or unsweetened ice-tea ?
Cooking Directions
Place the pita pocket in ovenproof plate. Spray a fine mist of oil on top, for spice adherence. Sprinkle with some "no-Salt TM" (check with your MD), ground pepper and oregano. Spread some fat-free pizza sauce thinly on top, leaving the outer half-inch sauce free. Distribute soy pepperoni evenly on top of sauce. Add the sliced onions, green pepper, mushrooms and other garnishings. Spray again with a fine mist of oil and again sprinkle with a bit of no-salt, ground black pepper and oregano flakes. Cover with the shredded fat-free cheese. Spray again with a very fine mist of oil. Place in the oven, or toaster oven until done.
The key to keeping the fat content low is to use an oil sprayer, depending on the brand, a one second adds only one gram of oil ( 9 KCal). The spices are added on to occasions: on top of the crust and later on top of the garnishing, this is to make sure you get an exceptionally good tasting pizza

Cooking Variations
As you develop skills in making this dish and your pizzas become better and better still, feel free to experiment with other components you deem to be healthy. Note that using meat-based sausages will ruin the virtues of this pizza on account of the very high saturated fat content.
