Re: Not doing well....Spaghetti

[Guest guest]

Only problem there is my dad cooks for the whole family - I'm the only

one dieting. I know it would be better for everyone if they ate whole

wheat pasta... but try to tell them that! I'm the only one overweight

in our family. Well, my mom is but only because she has MS and takes

steroids. So that wouldn't go over too well... I'm just thankful he'll

go out of his way to make me something different!

I found if I make a pasta for myself...and rinse if very well in cold water and divide it up into the proper portions sizes in baggies and when I need it pull it out of the fridge and put into boiling water for a minute to warm it it holds up GREAT all week...

You say that like having whole wheat is bad. It's not. In fact, I think it

tastes great! We do lasagna and goulash as well. Will be doing macaroni

salad this summer as well.

My mother and mother-in-law have both been to our house and had it and love

it.

Is it different than they are used to? You bet. But what's wrong with trying

something new and different?

Don't treat it as " diet " food, treat it as " GOOD " food.

We had whole wheat spaghetti the other night and I thought it was out of this world. The only problem I have is the sauce. What do you guys use? I found a davinci spaghetti sauce with 3 g of sugar and thought that was really good. It was costly though. I could use pointers here.

Thanks.

My family likes the whole wheat pasta

better than the regular stuff.  Even my very traditional Mom.  WW has more “substance” to it.   I just love it.

FWIW, I have to agree that WW spaghetti just doesn't cut it...at least at

first. I'm still adjusting to it inmy own meals.

Interesting thing -- white spaghetti is apparently very low on the GI in

many countries (Sweden, Canada, etc) however here in the US it's the highest

of those tested. Many are in the low 30s to low 40s elsewhere whereas ours

is 64 +/-15!

After researching the numbers, I'm gonna look for some Canadian white

spaghetti now. ;-)

Your best bet is to make your own. There are a number of good recipes on

the 'net. You can sweeten them a bit with stevia or your choice of

artificial sweeteners as well. I've picked up a few recipes over the last

few years and as soon as the first tomato crop comes in, I'll be avidly

experimenting.

I really wish I could eat the whole wheat spaghetti, but I can't

chance it with my wheat allergy. I can once in a while sneak in a

tortilla or something small like that, but a plate of pasta bothers me

way too much.

I miss spaghetti. I liked having my rice spaghetti once a week or so.

My allergist told me she is allergic to wheat, but can eat any pasta

from Italy. She said that when she visited Italy, the pasta never

bothered her. So she always buys the Italian made pasta at the

grocery store. I wonder what the GI index on it is?

I need to find a rice pasta that's lower on the index, as even the

Italian pasta bothers me. C'mon , you can help me find one with

your research skills

Hi ann,

I found a brown rice pasta in Trader Joe's, if you have one in your

area.

Also, I wonder if there is a list of GI index for different regions

for pasta (I doubt it though). I am going overseas this summer and

would be interested in knowing.
