 How A Bear Should Make A
Pizza
The Base
Although you can have the regular white flour crust that is typically served at
restaurants, going with a whole wheat crust would be the healthier choice. Not
to mention, by making your pizza at home you will get the healthiest pizza
possible. Deep
dish pizza crusts are not a good option. Choosing a very thin crust will help you enjoy
the rest of the pizza without the added bread calories.
The Sauce
You might not be aware that many other sauces exist besides the usual red
marinara sauce. The usual red sauce is fine, but depending on what you have
eaten the rest of the day, you may want to liven things up with a different
pizza sauce. If you are in need of some good fats, try something different and
have a white pizza, which is usually an olive oil base or go with pesto (olive
oil and herbs) for even more flavor. Choose your favorite, but just watch the
portions!
The Toppings
Topping choices for Bears are unlimited. Choose a balanced pizza for the optimal
Bear selection – combining both veggies and meat. For something a little
unusual, a good Bear combination might be a chicken fajita pie - some chicken,
onions, and bell peppers, with fajita seasoning. This adds a different flavor to
your typical pizza. If you want to stay with a popular pizza variety, get the
standard sausage, mushroom, and onion! Pizza is a great way to incorporate those
vegetables many of you have trouble eating. As you know, they are loaded with
vitamins, nutrients, and fiber and most people do not get enough of them!
A word of caution on the types of ingredients, however: Many pizza meats are
loaded with chemicals and preservatives. It’s best to dine at a place that uses
natural ingredients or learn to make your own pizza at home with delicious
organic meats and veggies. This way you can have pizza more often because it is
a much healthier version! The usual pizzas can be quite dangerous to the
waistline!
Don’t forget about the cheese! This is where Bears can really add on the
calories. Some pizza places just load on the cheese! Who doesn’t love that? We
all do! However, our waistlines do not! When making your own pizza, we suggest
trying an array of fine Italian shredded cheeses such as Romano, Parmesan, and
Asiago. Because these cheeses are so flavorful, you don’t need to use as much on
your pizza pie. In fact, just a little sprinkle will do it! Cheese calories add
up very quickly! We definitely do not recommend the “extra cheesy” – delicious
but too high in calories!
So what’s the take home point here for pizza?
• Choose natural ingredients
• Add some veggies for added fiber and nutrients
• Try less cheese but choose a flavorful type
• Try making your own pizza! Yummy and fun!
• Don’t eat the whole pizza by yourself!
There you have it! Bon appetite! If you would like some more help with how to
eat, cook, or exercise for your specific
Hauser Diet Type
– please give us a call. We
are waiting to help you! Because when you eat great, you feel great! |

 Saucy Ways to Dress Up Meals for Bears
Having the standard marinara sauce with Italian dishes
or sprinkling a little soy sauce on your Asian creations
over and over again can make you bored and quickly turn
you off from cooking and eating healthy. Expand your
ingredient list just a little bit and you can hundreds
of different flavors to the food you love.
Asian Butter Sauce
This is great way to switch up the flavors of your
stir frys. Boil some chicken broth, oyster sauce, lemon
juice, a pinch of sugar, and some Chinese seasoning.
Then simmer with green onions and butter to really
thicken in up. This would be great with a seafood or
tofu stir fry!
Spicy Peanut Sauce
A favorite thing to put on chicken with
rice noodles. Heat peanut butter, a
little soy sauce, red pepper flakes, a dash of milk,
sesame oil, and a few drops of hot sauce! You can either
spread it over chicken while it’s baking or dip the
chicken it this awesome sauce when ready to eat.
Berry Vinaigrette
Fruity dressings are great for salads especially
in the summer. Mash up your favorite berries and mix
with a little lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and a bit of
avocado oil to cut the tartness. Salt and pepper to
taste if needed and pour it on to complete your salad!
Bears luck out when it comes to sauces and dressings
because you go the thin fruity route or the thick
buttery way. Either way as long as you don’t drench your
food you can eat healthy and love your favorite foods.
When it comes to cooking just get creative with what you
like, who says you need to follow a recipe?!

Buttery Chicken
Here is a recipe that is out of this world. A word of warning,
MODERATION. Don't make too much and you won't accidentally over
portion yourself ESPECIALLY ON THE BUTTER SIDE.
The key to this recipe is SLOW cooking, so turn down the heat!
On low heat, gently melt one ounce of butter to every 2-3 ounces of
chicken you will be cooking. When the butter is melted, add the
chicken breast and cook until done.
Use salted, not sweet butter. Now if you have some spices in the
cabinet, flavor to taste. For a mellow taste, try nutmeg or ginger;
for a spicy variation, try your favorite pepper or chili powder.
Sometimes simple is best, and this recipe is as simple as you can
get.
Here again you should match an equal amount of chicken to the side
dish of your choosing, rice or beans, or a mix of both. |
|
Cold Chicken Salad
And another favorite stand by: Make chicken salad by chopping up the
cold chicken breast and add one ounce of mayonnaise to every 2-3
ounces of chicken.
If you chose these recipes, you can add a whole grain bread slice or
roll and some veggies to keep you on the Bear side of the Hauser
Diet Spectrum!
Always remember our Hauser Diet cook rules:
1. Moderate temperature cooking, no deep fat frying, no
incineration of meat
2. Don't smother your food in cheese or sauces.
3. Try spices and herbs for flavor
4. Lightly coat for crunchiness,
5. and keep an eye on portions and moderation! |

Chicken Cordon Bleu on a bed
of
wild rice or beans
What could be easier than gently grilling or frying a chicken
breast, and just before you pull it from the grill or frying pan,
putting a thin slice piece of ham on top and then topping that off
with a piece of cheese?
Now to offset all this protein, you need some carbs. In your trip to
the health food store or in the organic aisle at the super market,
pick up a bag of your favorite rice or beans. If preparing rice and
bean dishes is a little too time consuming, look for the many
organic rice and bean side dishes that come as easy to prepare boil
and serve dishes. Remember to have equal proportions of chicken and
rice and/or bean side dishes. This is not an excuse to pile on the
rice! WATCH YOUR PORTIONS! |
