I just got my Hungry Girl newsletter with a "recipe" for low fat pizza, that is supposed to be soooo mouthwatering. It consists of a whole wheat pita, topped with jarred sauce, veggie or turkey sausage, and some low-fat string cheese.
Yeah, can't wait to tear into that bad boy!
Why is it that diet people come up with all these weird substitutions for fattening foods, and insist that they're just as good as the original? This is a blatant tongue blackening lie, and they should all go to hell for their malicious exploitation of fat people. Turkey sausage is rubbery, tasteless and disgusting - they shouldn't even make that crap. Fat-free cheese melts like spackling compound. Pitas are typically dry, and low-fat whole wheat pitas are disks of pressboard.
Occasionally they'll suggest a low-fat whole wheat tortilla as a pizza base. This is even worse than the pita and the only thing I can imagine them being useful for is as furniture sliders.
Diet books never suggest real food or have recipes that don't call for some synthetic. A slice or two of turkey lunch meat wrapped around a large dill pickle slice is delicious. Hard boiled eggs chopped with a can of tuna and a bit of mayo is heaven. But no diet people ever suggest eating stuff like that - they always want you to substitute fake eggs or tofu. And then when you actually do the count on it, you're not really saving any calories with this sleight of hand.
I suspect diet book people are in cahoots with the fake food manufacturers. That's the only reason I can think of why they'd push that garbage and not just tell you to eat fruits, veggies and meat, all of which are naturally tasty.
It's just pure chicanery and commercializing poor desperate chubbies.

I have to say that some of her recipes are good but that one????? I think I'd rather just eat a cardboard shoe box. No low fat pizza recipe ever really appeals to me. It's just one of those splurge-type foods that's supposed to be fattening so if I'm gonna eat pizza, it's gonna be good pizza.
I like egg whites turkey bacon no fat cheese and low calorie whole grain bread...damn now I'm hungry for second breakfast
