Re: pasta search

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane,

I replied back when you posted, but not sure anyone saw it. I was

given a pasta to try by my endocrinologist. I have half a thyroid

left and am pre-diabetic. It is called DREAMFIELDS and has only 5

grams of " digestible " carbs and 2x the fiber. I love it and so does

my picky " Italian " family. Of course 1 lb is supposed to feed eight

people just like the regular pasta that the four of us used to eat 1

lb at a time. So now I only cook 1/2 the box and I eat it slowly and

enjoy every bite of my 1/2 to 1 cup serving. We don't have it often,

but it is a real treat when we do. I live in the Northeast also, a

little more south of you, so you might be able to find it. I found it

at my regulare grocery store. Here is the website.

Dreamfields is the best, can not tell it from regular pasta, but there are

other brands you can pick up at new life or other health stores.

Hi

a while back someone...I think sandy RN, posted a near band friendly/

lower carb option PASTA brand here. I have done a search, but 'pasta'

brings up too much. (go figure!)

can anyone remember.

personally, I have trouble with pasta and MY band, but a friend is

looking for a more carb friendly pasta. I appreciate your help.

thanks

This " Nutrition Kitchen " pasta is made from soybeans, and has a

delicious, nutty, chewy texture that is very band-friendly. Per 2-oz

serving, it also has 23 grams of proteion and 11 grams of fiber. The

regular pastas turn gooey and sticky and gcan glom up the stoma, and is

also poor nutrition. Most of us don't need to worry about carbs becuase

a good band diet is naturally about the 50% good carbs, 20-25% protein,

and 20-25% god fats we need for good nutrition to reagin our health.
