Many people love the taste of fathead pizza, and honestly, who wouldn’t? But there comes a time for some people where you have to ask… is Almond Flour causing my weight loss to stall? Or am I having a mild allergic reaction to Almond Flour that’s causing inflammation in my body? Read on to find out!
Fathead pizza is simply a pizza base that is made mostly of cheese, eggs and almond flour. The trouble is that some people might be either allergic to nuts, or simply don’t want to buy the stuff (because it’s damn expensive!) Well, I’ve got the solution for you!
This fathead pizza dough is made entirely without almond flour and can resemble more of a thin and crispy base, depending on how much parmesan you want to put in it.
Parmesan cheese can be made into all sorts of different recipes, like crackers and other delicious snacks, so why wouldn’t it work well in pizza? Well… it does!
By adding parmesan cheese to this recipe, you’re effectively hardening the pizza base enough to get a crispy base, without the almond nuttiness that might be causing your weight loss to stall.
Now, why would almond flour cause your weight loss to stall?
Well, in most cases being allergic to almond flour causes your body to miss-interpret the proteins in almonds and a foreign substance that needs to be removed. Your body does everything to try and either pass it directly out of the body through the digestion system which causes other items in your stomach to not be digested OR or causes unforeseen stress on the body. As you know, stress, sleep, and diet are the main factors in a successful weight loss journey, so eating almonds might be causing some elevated levels of stress for you.
So how do you know if almonds are a problem for you?
The simplest way is to remove them from your diet and see how you feel. Generally, anything around the 4-week mark will give you a good amount of time for the stress to subside, and symptoms tosubside, until you re-introduce them back into your diet. For everyone, allergic reactions can manifest in multiple ways, but you might be able to cross-reference with any of these common symptoms:
- Bloating
- Stomach pain
- Stomach cramps
- Wind
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Eczema
- Itchy skin
- Acne
- Tiredness
- A runny nose and sinusitis
If you’re a pizza lover, and you can’t give it up just yet, then I definitely recommend trying this recipe out for the next few weeks instead of using almond flour. It might just be your saving grace!

I would have given this 5 stars if it hadn’t been called “pizza”. This is delicious. I don’t know if it is pizza though … It never really gets crispy, unless you burn it.
Frittata? Omelette? Those might be better descriptions.
Whatever you call it, it does come out tasty though. 👍Reply

It’s a cheese pizza… so it’s the best thing without the carbs! Thanks for the feedback

Hey Aaron, I’m confused about the serving sizes.
This recipe can serve four people, but there are two small-ish pizzas – so a serving size would be half a small pizza? Just looking at the photos and ingredients it doesn’t seem like a meal as much as a snack… or maybe that’s my eyes being too big for my belly!Reply

Hi Meghan,
Fathead pizzas are deceptively filling, and absolutely loaded with calories, so this serving size is correct.

Hi there Aaron,
Greetings from Serbia! I just tried this recipe yesterday. It wasn’t going all well at the start because I couldn’t form a dough. However, what I did is I mixed all of the dough ingredients (I melted the mozzarella first as instructed) with a hand mixer and poured it into a rectangular baking tray (with parchment paper) and it turned out great! It cooked for about 15 min in the oven.
Later that day I tried the same technique using grated gauda cheese (instead of mozzarella and parmesan) and eggs and that worked perfectly too!
So, I guess whisking the mixture is easier for me than forming a dough and rolling it. I hope that someone finds this helpful too!
Thank you for your hard work making up these awesome recipes! Cheers!

Thanks! Your experience made all the difference as I was experiencing the same problem. I knew it would be tasty so instead of trying to change the consistency I spread the stuff out on a parchment lined baking pan, and cooked as directed, adding my toppings then more time, total also 15 min. I am deleting all other pizza/flatbread/tortilla recipes and will keep playing with this one.
