Even though we preach healthy eating here at DailyBurn, we’re not immune to splurging from time to time — especially on something as delicious as pizza. (Plus, we’re based in New York City — where we’ve got the best pies on Earth!)
While it’s easy to cook up a wealth of low-carb options at home, restaurant pizza is often served up hot — and greasy. And now that pizza season (errrr, football season) is here, we’re expecting a lot more slices to start appearing on our plates.

But the bottom line is that you could potentially lose two pounds a year by just blotting every single one of your slices. Literally. That’s it. How could you say no to using that napkin now?
