Practically I can live with pizza! Once I lost my appetite to eat any food because of my radiation treatment.For 5 days, I have not taken anything nutritious because i was only taking fruit juices and no solid food. I was getting weaker and losing weight. I tried all my favorite foods but they did not whet my appetite . So I thought of something that even if I eat a little, it is quite complete. Since I was prohibited to go our of the house, I ordered pizza through home delivery. The company has a minimum amount of purchase so that they can deliver. So I ordered for a family size with cheeze around the crust. I forgot what's the name plus a 1.5 liter of pepsi.:-) In 30 minutes the order arrived. It was still warm. I opened it but it was not attracted to eat it. I just smelled it and put it aside. But I have to force myself or else I'll die.
SO i opened the box again cut a small slice and chewed it even if i don't taste anything. I just continued it for several times until I finished one slice a and a glass of pepsi. Since so huge, I would be able to finish it in 2 days and a half if i take one slice per meal.
Dinner time, I took another slice. This time I was able to taste a little though I felt nauseated. I continued until I finished the slice again though it was cold. I did not place it inside the fridge so that i don't need to re-heat it. Until the next morning, I found out that I had the appetite to eat already pizza only . The succeeding days, i was able to eat little by little until I fully regained my appetite to eat. thanks to pizza hut's cheezy pizza!.
From that time on, wherever I go out, I always eat pizza not pizza hut exclusively but from any pizza house. :-) I can survive with pizza as my meal only.

I am not aware of your background. I have no idea why you are having radiation treatment but whatever the reason is, I pray you get well very soon.
I'm glad the pizza has given back your lost appetite. but make sure your pizza contains healthy stuff so that it really helps you get back into your normal healthy self. Pizzas really are great and I can't really understand a person who says he does not like or is not fond of pizza. I think this is one of the most delicious food invention. Nevertheless lest we get so addicted with pizza we should also be more vigilant because most pizzas are so rich in sodium and cholesterol. It is better to enjoy pizza without hurting our health by ordering a healthy pizza.

Yes dear garden fresh and vegetarian pizza are great and healthier choice. I advice you to avoid pizza with processed meat. Processed meats are very unhealthy because they contain sodium nitrate, a cancer causing ingredient. Meanwhile, just keep eating healthy foods and keep healing. Good nutrition will be of great help to you!

Thank you for the concern.:-) I really appreciate it.
It was only during the time when I don't have appetite. Now that I have recovered, I only eat it if there is chance. Some are really not so healthy. No need to worry . I am very careful with the food i take. If ever I order for pizza, my choices are garden fresh, Hawaiian and vegetarian. When i had my appetite back, I was told not to eat dairy products and I have to curb my longing for cheezy pizza .

I kinda thought that when I was a kid. I used to eat pizza a lot when my dad would buy my brothers and me or when my uncle would buy my little cousin and me. As I grew older though, I started getting bored of it now and told my parents on dining out/ordering something nights, that I got bored of it so my new favorite food is burgers. I can say the same thing about how I used to say about pizza when I was young, but later, I'm pretty sure I will get bored of it. Next it'll be chinese food. haha

Oh, that is a wonderful story you wrote, the experience you went through, and finally became a pizza lover. Yes, do continue to enjoy all the different kinds of pizza you like. I am also pretty much addicted to pizza. My favorite is hawaiin pizza, thick crust with lots of cheese and pineapple. Um, yummy, yummy !

I like pizza myself. I don't eat it as much as I used to but when I do, I can consume quite a bit of it. I am one who can eat a 14 inch pie by myself, and I have done so for quite some time. The difference is between when I was a teenager doing that and now, my appetite has grown. Before, I ate a whole pizza, and it wouldn't last long. Now, I eat a whole pizza, and I am still hungry. It is mostly a snack for me. I know, I have eaten a large pizza while waiting for the bus a few times. I like that I can consume and burn that much food. Now, when I want to have some pizza, I have to buy 2 large pizzas so it feels like I have eaten. Or if I am hungry enough 3 of them. This sounds crazy, but this is a big boy with a big appetite, and easily have enough energy to consume this for fuel. At first, I thought it was just greed, but the harder I worked, the hungrier I would get. Two pizzas wasn't cutting it, so there were times I could have three larges in one meal. What is crazy about that is that I could be stuffed for a little bit, but end up hungry again some time later. I have never thought I would treat a pizza as a snack, let alone consume what people would usually buy for a party by myself, for the purpose of fuel, and a vicious appetite. I love it though.

I'm not human. What I have for an appetite, can take on families. My family complains about my appetite because there are five us in the house, and one person (me) can take down the other four people. Expensive, yes. I'm not concerned, because it is a valid investment.

Who doesn't love pizza? When me and my friends have a movie marathon, we always order boxes of pizzas which we all dig in while we enjoy the movie. Pizza is best for all occasions, that's why we love it so much. So convenient and tasty too! Pepsi is a great drink to go with pizza.

I think everybody love pizza. It is a on-dish meal and can fill you up after eating one or two slices of it.:-) Yes, it is very convenient to eat and no mess. You can even eat it while driving or even walking/hiking. :-)It is best with any carbonated drinks.

I love pizza, but I've never had to go through what you have. When I think I can't eat anything, wheat thins and cheese with sips of pepsi help a lot. Maybe it's the cheese that does the trick, but cheese isn't supposed to be that good for one. It does help one gain weight, though. I suppose if I ate pizza all the time I would get tired of it. In fact, our politcal group has been meeting almost once a week in a pizza parlourfor about three weeks in a row, and we are already tired of it. I would start missing salads and fruits and pasta and all kinds of other tasty things if I ate only pizza.
