    I eat whole wheat pasta - not everyday, but I do eat it.

    Just make sure you measure it out and eat the serving size of it. :)

    Eat it in moderation. I never had issues.

    I don't like whole wheat pasta. To me it just doesn't cook right. I it the white pasta and just eat a little.

    Agreed. I eat brown rice, whole wheat bread, fat free dairy, etc, so I am not opposed to eating the stuff that is good for you. I tried whole wheat pasta several times, and I just don't like it. It was a weird texture and taste. Yuck. I eat the regular pasta or none at all.

    Eat what you like - the key is to eat in moderation and pick healthier choices whenever possible. That way you won't feel deprived and will be more likely to stick with your changes you've made. I've managed to lose 40lbs while eating pasta, drinking wine and beer and eating dark chocolate - all staples in my diet in small amounts, and all things that life would not be worth living without!!

    you can eat pasta (in moderation) just make sure you balance your plate by also having a serving of protein and veggies.

    ***Just My Opinion - I am no way an authority***
    Amen, In my case - we strapped the belt on alot of costs. So Pasta (store brand) is 1-3 nights a week. My hubby is home so he makes a tray and we make that tray last. I measure out and thats it. I use a small bowl and try to have extra calories available if I need it.

    Tonight is day two of pasta and garlic bread if I have the numbers......check out my food diary.
    Moderation and exercise!

    Good luck to you!!
