Proteinza

The De-Carb Pizza

Proteinza

Hi, this is Dr. Nikhil Patel M.D. BSc. Founder of Proteinza.

My team and I have created a pizza crust called “Proteinza” that is going to help you eat pizza and lose fat at the same time.

If you want to eat pizza whilst improving your health, then you need this all natural, high protein, low carb, gluten free pizza called Proteinza. It turns pizza into a nutritional powerhouse so you don’t have to eat boring salads to lose fat. 

How did we do this? We used only two ingredients: Chicken and Brown rice to make our crust. This allows for your pizza to have super high protein, low calories and ultra low carbohydrates. Don’t worry about the taste – Thousands love it, and we are sure you will too!

There’s no catch. We initially made Proteinza for ourselves but our friends kept wanting more so we turned it into a product you can buy. 

We love pizza but millions of people are sick due to their diet. Changing bad habits is really hard.

We want to make it easy to be healthy. 

We have had thousands of people who love Proteinza including professional athletes in the NFL.

Once you taste Proteinza you’ll (hopefully) never go back to regular pizza. 

You’ll be able to reach your fitness goals without pain and struggle. 

Proteinza will turn your pizza into an amazing nutritional meal that helps you burn away fat.  Even more importantly, you can have pizza without the guilt!

Proteinza will:

Help you lose fat…
Help you gain muscle…
Help you eat more pizza!

High Protein (115% more protein)
Low Carb (1500% less carbs)
Low Calorie (217% less calories)

Only made from 2 Natural Ingredients
No Soy/Gluten
No Sugar

Diabetic friendly*

Naturally Gluten Free

(Not suitable for vegetarians - our vegan version is on its way!)

*Current ADA recommendations include monitoring carbohydrate intake for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lower carbohydrate intake has been associated with reduced fluctuation in blood sugar, improved sensitivity and weight loss. Please see your doctor for more information and to confirm whether Proteinza is right for you. Please do not avoid carbohydrates if you need them to prevent low blood sugars (hypoglycemia).

1. More pizza for less calories

The 3 macronutrients (carbs, proteins, fats) contain a definite number of calories per gram.

Carbohydrates: 4 calories per gram (0.035 oz)
Protein: 4 calories per gram (0.035 oz)
Fat: 9 calories per gram (0.035 oz)

Proteinza is the most efficient for the calories gained per mass of food, so you can literally eat more for less calories!

2. Hits the spot better 
With Proteinza we have increased the protein content, whilst keeping the delicious toppings and bubbly, melting cheese to make it really hit the spot. This makes sure that Proteinza really hits your pizza cravings hard whilst keeping you on track with your nutrition/diet. Satiety is a measure of how full people feel after eating a certain food. Studies have shown that foods higher in protein and fat are more satisfying and keep you fuller for longer. 
 
3. Burns more calories

Every food has a Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). We can show the TEF depending on the macronutrient within the food. This is the amount of calories you burn getting the nutrition out of the food based on which nutrients it is made out of. The three major nutrients (macronutrients) are carbohydrates, fats and protein.

TEF of Carbohydrates: 5 – 15% of the energy consumed (sugars have lower TEF than starches)
TEF of Fat: at most 5 – 15% of the energy consumed
TEF of Protein: 20-35% of the energy consumed. 

Scenario 1: If you ate one slice of regular pizza – around 300 calories, due to it being mostly carbohydrates you would only burn an extra 30 calories getting the nutrition out of the food. An entire pizza is around 2000 calories. 

Scenario 2: If you ate half of an entire Proteinza – around 300 calories, due to it being mostly protein you would burn an extra 90 calories. An entire Proteinza is about 600 calories. You would burn an extra ~180 calories whilst eating Proteinza – taking you to a total calorie intake of 420 calories for the entire Proteinza.

4. Steady blood sugar

Maintaining a more steady blood sugar improves hunger and can help burn more fat . When your blood sugar rises fast and high your body goes into “fat storage mode”.  Protein dampens this response. Protein helps your blood sugar not go really high or really low – having a steady level throughout the day will keep you in a “fat burning” mode.

5. More muscle

Proteinza helps to maintain and build muscles. Muscle is one of the major factors in our metabolism, the engine that burns calories even if we are sitting on the sofa watching TV!  It is important to have a diet which delivers protein to help maintain/grow muscle and therefore maintain and grow your fat burning machine.

6. Pizza without the guilt

Proteinza is pizza! We have just hacked pizza by swapping the nutrition, whilst keeping the same delicious, satisfying taste. It replaces pizza but with far less calories, far less carbohydrates and a huge increase in protein.

Why we exist

We love pizza and we wanted to eat pizza more often. We wanted pizza to be healthy so we wouldn’t ruin our health whilst eating more pizza.  So we created Proteinza. 

Pizza is considered the worlds’ most popular meal with about 1 in 8 Americans consuming it on any given day.

Most of us are overweight or obese.  Being overweight is the major cause of diabetes. Over 100 million Americans are pre-diabetic or diabetic, This is more than one third of the entire US population. 9 out of 10 people with pre-diabetes don’t even know they have it.

People who have diabetes are at higher risk of serious health complications with a 50% increased risk of death compared to those without diabetes. Even our children are at risk with one in five adolescents being clinically obese (not just overweight).
