What do you think of the low-carb pastas that are on the market?
A. Low carb pastas do not offer any significant health benefit over regular pasta. Some varieties may provide slightly more protein or fiber, but when regular pasta is paired with healthy partners like vegetables, poultry, fish, and lean cuts of meat, you will get more than enough of what you need in protein and fiber…remember, pasta was never meant to be eaten alone! It is also important to note that the Glycemic Index of regular pasta remains as low as low-carb varieties, and that the calorie count is approximately the same. Furthermore, regular pasta tastes much better!
