Dreamsfield pasta

JCLowcarb · 08-26-2005, 12:27 PM

Have any of you tried the dreamsfield pasta instead of using the whole wheat pasta? It does taste like regular pasta and not rubbery or chewy. I just have a hard time of trying whole wheat pasta or bagels or mindset way of thinking for giving it up for a long time. Same mindset that I had before from going lowfat to lowcarb. Scared to eat fat. Go figure? I do and have eaten whole grain bread and not worry about it and do fine with that. Not whole wheat but whole grain. The whole wheat to me is like brown colored white bread. I think I am going to try eating more legumes and will contiune to eat whole grain bread but with the fruits, more of the berriers type. I am worried about spike in insulin with bananas or more sweeter type of fruits. Advocado has more potassium in it than a banana. I used to get those leg cramps even drinking water but it stopped when eating some advocado's in my salad.

JC,
The Dreamfields Pasta is very good...TOO good actually. I try and limit making it because it tastes so much like regular pasta! Good luck with your eating plan...it sounds like you are doing great!

Here is a recipe that Lynne showed on the AOL lowfat/lowcarb debate board on AOL. I will limit the feta cheese. Cheese makes me constipated and when losing weight, stalled me. I don't usually use lowcarb products but they have their place, in a infrequent mode. I call cheating when I use a lowcarb product. You know, I want my family to eat healthy too and played a trick on them. I make my own speg. sauce that takes me all day and then used the dreamsfield pasta and hid the box. They could NOT TELL the difference. I won't tell them either.
