For a Healthy Dinner, Substitute Refined Wheat for Low Carb Pasta
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

Too many people, pasta is necessary for life – some people simply cannot live without a daily pasta dish to complement whatever they are eating. Like rice and potatoes, pasta is one of those dishes that people around the world can enjoy whole heartedly, making it a great addition to any meal. However, pasta is not necessarily the best food for most people to eat. It is chock full of carbohydrates that can lead to health problems and many pastas do not provide a connoisseur with enough other nutrients to last throughout the day. Fortunately enough, health problems stemming from too much carbohydrate consumption may be a thing of the past for heavy pasta eaters, as a new low carb pasta selection is now becoming a standard product in grocery stores across the country. While this low carb pasta is perfect for those who enjoy eating their pasta without any sauces to go with it, most people do enjoy eating their noodles with some sort of red sauce or a creamy sauce to complement it.

This, then is the problem with low carb pasta. While there is indeed a significant decrease in the amount of carbohydrates found in a serving of low carb pasta, the problem for healthy eating still lies in the sauce you put on top of the pasta. For example, consider a bowl of maraconi and cheese. The pasta in a dish like this is the least of your concerns, as the cheese is definitely full of a variety of more unhealthy ingredients than the pasta itself. Therefore, if you are really interested in using low carb pasta as a backbone for your newfound healthy eating style, then consider complementing your low carb pasta with simple vegetables and homemade sauces where you know exactly what ingredients you are using. Then, and only then, will you actually be able to eat healthier by using low carbohydrate pastas.
