Can the dieter really chow-down on pizza and lose weight too? Sure they can - but there are a few exceptions like a little thing called moderation.
Keep in mind that 'thin' crust pizza contains the word 'thin'. That's an omen just waiting to be heeded where caloric values are concerned.
Lean Proteins Add Nutrition Rather Than Fat
Nutritional values can also be beefed-up by adding lean proteins to the pizza, as well as a healthy mix of vegetables which are naturally low in caloric values.
Pineapple can also be added as an excellent fruity addition to the pie and compliments lean ham well.
Little Caesar's Pizza has several great selections on their menu which can fit into most healthy weight loss plans.
Let's view a few of our picks from their extensive menu - and then we'll follow with information on their Hot-N-Ready pizzas - which are so delicious in addition to an exceptional value. When it comes to our favorite pizza joint, Little Caesar's wins hands-down.

As a note, a few of the above menu selections may appear to be a lot of calories, but pizza sticks with a body all day, slicing out snacks that one might otherwise consume in the afternoon or late evening.
Those things must also be considered whenever you 'weigh' your diet choices.
Planning in Advance for Enjoying Pizza
If you choose to enjoy pizza we suggest that you eat a very light breakfast and dinner - or lunch, whichever applies.
For example, let's look at Penny's menu plates for the day that she opted to eat at Little Caesar's:
Breakfast Menu: 1 serving of whole grain cereal, a serving of skim milk and 1/2 cup of sliced fresh fruit
Mid-Morning Snack: Penny is skipping both her morning and afternoon snacks today to allow more room for pizza.
Lunch Menu: She visits Little Caesar's with two other ladies from her work group.
They order one Cheese Hot-N-Ready Pizza which works out well because it is ready to go and they can enjoy more free time amid their one hour lunch break.
There are eight slices to the pie; friend Jenny takes three as well as friend Amy - leaving two perfect slices for Penny. She also orders a side salad for about another 100 calories to accompany her meal. For her beverage she enjoys water with her meal. Her total calories for the meal equal about 600.
Dinner Menu: Penny enjoys a mirror of her breakfast menu and is feeling quite full and satisfied at the end of the day.
