Killer Milkshakes Vs Pound Shedding Pizza

Counting the calories is a key part of shedding the pounds, especially now if you want to squeeze into those Speedos or flaunt that bikini on some sun kissed beach.Losing weight by calorie counting can fit into the most hectic lifestyle and can accommodate your personal likes and dislikes. There are no forbidden foods when you diet through calorie counting.

Provided you eat less calories than you burn each day you will lose weight. For men that means eating less than  around 2,500 calories a day while for women it’s closer to 2,000 (add a bit more if you’re overweight already, tall or very muscular.  The other aspect of a calorie counting diet is of course to watch the calorie value of what you eat in the first place and try to eat as healthily as possible.  Not many of us would think of the pizza delivery service as a gateway to weight loss, but the perhaps surprising truth is that a pizza or a burger contains fewer calories than the perceived “healthier” option of a milkshake.

Take your favourite pizza dishes delivered to your door like Pepperoni (352 calories per slice), Margherita (238 calories per slice) or the Hawaiian (222 calories per slice).They all pale in comparison with your average chocolate shake for example that comes in at a whopping 950 calories. Even a Starbucks Chocolate Frappuccino packs 410 fattening calories as well as a generous helping of sodium and sugar.

So don’t rule out the humble pizza from your weight conscious menu.  Even if you leave the exercise bit entirely up to pizza delivery bloke and order your take away on line, sharing a pizza and eating as many as three slices will still beat a single milkshake into a cocked hat.  And apart from being more satisfying to chew, Pizza just tastes better!
