For about 15 years, I've been degreasing pizza. That is, I soak up the grease on pizzas before I even start eating them. From my experiences, this is an effective weight loss technique and it works on many things. For a McDonald's hamburger (the really greasy ones, from what I remember before 2004, the last time I had meat), simply order the burger with all the components separate (the lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, cheese, etc.). For a pizza, it's much easier... until you start adding certain toppings like spices, parmasean (sp. ?), or garlic as they tend to reduced. This can be done with French fries, steaks, roasts, and almost any meat or deep-fried foods (donuts anyone?), though best done before any toppings are added like salt, pepper, spices, powdered sugar, and other such things. This will not work, however, with drinks or other water-rich foods and foods with very little fat in the first place. Doing this is actually very easy, though mastering it (preventing problems) takes some time. First, grab a few napkins or paper towels (Bounty and Brawny work very well) and begin dabbing the pizza. The more liquidy the cheese is, the more likely it is to stick to the napkin or paper towel which requires very short dabs or a brief cooling before starting. For best results, start when warm and go fast. You won't get everything, but as this video shows, that first run alone easily has about 20 grams of fat (estimated). Further runs could remove about 40 grams of fat out ...
