Eat Pasta, the Healthy Way
Posted by Kristen on September 3rd, 2009 at 08:34am
Most diet and weight loss regimens will encourage you to cut carbs from your daily meal plan. In many cases, pasta is just out of the question if you’re trying to lose weight. I’m not an advocate for large amounts of carbs as a weight loss tool, however I do think we can make smart decisions about the pastas we eat so that we’re not completely deprived from our favorite foods, while still staying within our healthy eating plans. In my opinion, deprivation is the leading cause of failed diets.
Here’s a few healthy pasta recipes that I LOVE and you should try out on your family this weekend. Instead of making a huge dinner, try eating the pasta for lunch and something lighter for dinner. Then you’ll be guilt-free and your taste buds will be satisfied.
