I'm eating a lot less starch to stay within my limits. It's just hard to make my numbers and include everything I'd like. So I still eat it, but less often. And if it's something I don't want without smearing it with butter or melting cheese over it, then I'm going to eat it even less. It's often not the carbs but the toppings that get you in trouble.

If you eat pasta the way Italians do, it's not the entire meal -- spaghetti with red gravy is just a side dish, like rice or potatoes would be with traditional American food. They're still eating meat/poultry/fish and vegetables at the meal, too.

I switched from white bread to seeded granary. I find it hard to lose weight while eating white pasta & white bread, plus I feel bloated after eating.

I have granary bread toasted in the mornings, if I have white then I am hungry within an hour.
