Flour is what causes me to gain weight. I cut out breads and pasta and I lose weight, no matter how little exercise I get.

Fat is what causes me to gain weight. I cut out fat and I lose weight. This is no surprise that you lose weight when you your weight was stable and cut something, anything with calories out.

That said, if your goal is to lose weight then pizza may not be for you. But that wasn't the goal posed in the article.

Homemade or not, pizza is mostly processed carbohydrates and grease.

$1-$2 per pizza are you kidding me? I'd like to see the breakdown of that since I make pizza often. Just the cheese costs at least $1-$2 for me.

Really? I just checked my cheese in the fridge and it costs €3.83 per kg. At that price that would mean about half a kg of cheese on one pizza. Anyway:

- flour: lets say 200g for €0.10

- cheese: 100g for €0.40

- olive oil: say €0.10

- mushed tomatoes: €0.10

- onion: €0.10

- yeast, salt, water, etc: €0.10

I think I'm being pretty generous here with the amounts and the cost. Total is €1.

If you make it at home, do thin crust, go light on (or skip) the cheese and heavy on the veggies, it must reasonably healthy, I agree.

What's bad about cheese? Pizza without cheese doesn't taste nice.

I love cheese. It's not as healthy as say, zucchini and olive oil though. It's easy to overdo, that's all.
