    More pizza places are starting to offer healthier options. Ask for a thin whole-wheat crust -- the thinner the crust, the fewer the fat grams and calories. Plus, you get a whole lot more fiber and protein if you go whole wheat. Also ask for half the normal amount of cheese (it'll cut some saturated fat and calories). Skip the sausage and pepperoni, and go for chicken and heart-friendly vegetables, like artichokes, onions, and bell peppers. When you get your pie, grab a napkin and blot off any visible pools of grease. This simple move can knock off another 3 to 5 grams of fat.
