Here is an interesting little fact I found on Calorie Lab .Com ~ LabDoor.com, a watchdog website that analyzes and evaluates vitamins and herbal supplements for safety and efficacy, conducted an unusual experiment to test a current dieter's tip: that you can reduce the calories in a slice of pizza by dabbing it with a paper napkin before eating. Their finding: indeed you can. According to their results, blotting the grease from the surface of a single slice of Domino's pepperoni pizza reduces the amount of fat therein from 13 grams to 8.5, a hefty 35 percent decrease, which works out to a reduction in calories per slice from 117 to 76.5. Based on the total amount of pizza the average American consumes annually -- 23 pounds -- the dabbing procedure could eliminate some 6,611 calories per year, the equivalent of 1.9 pounds of ungained weight.

I've been doing this for years. Especially with Sbarro's pizza. Everyone always makes fun of me for it!

I do the dab thing too when I do have pizza. I try to do it so no one really notices because it seems to bother some people :) Just like when I used to drink Diet Coke when I ate my lunch.

Good for you JULES, I never thought of doing it til I read this! Since Hubby is severely diabetic rarely eat pizza, but it's still a great tip. FROSTY, I so wish there was a way of doing that too, LOL! KATTAY, I've come to realize that no matter what we do, some things will offend some people, & be considered "just weird" by others. And lots of things that are good for us fall into that category. So now I do what I think is right, & others can deal with it or move on. JMO.
