The hardest part of a high protein diet like the South Beach or the Atkins diets, is giving up pasta. Being Italian, I love pasta! So when I discovered Dreamfields low carb pasta, I was thrilled! Its healthy, it tastes great and has the al dente texture of real italian pasta. 7 ounces of this pasta is 170 calories, 30 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 7 grams of carbs. I admit is is a bit pricey, but if I only eat it once a week or so, I don’t mind the cost. Besides being low carb, it also is free of the white sugar and white flour that raises your glycemic index. So even if your not on the South Beach Diet, it is a good choice, especially if you are a diabetic. This low carb pasta is also rich in a natural prebiotic fiber that is typically found in raisins, asparagus, artichokes and garlic. It improves calcium aborption which improves your immune system and helps reduce cholesterol.
Dreamfields also has a great website where you can buy low carb pasta and low carb pasta sauce online. You can search their data base of low carb pasta recipes and plan your dinners. It takes alot of the hassle and work out of planning recipes.
Supermarkets have payed attention to this low carb craze and now stock up on great low carb replacements for beer, pasta and candy. Always read the labels to be sure what your eating. Some of these products can fix your sweet tooth or carb craving without sacrificing your waistline!
