I just found this pasta through a link here in LJ. Looks too good to be true-

Has anyone here tried it?
What did you think?
Where did you find it?



Thanks!

---in a low carb diet over a low fat diet, even though study subjects in the low-carb group consumed 3 TIMES as much saturated fat as those in the low-fat group! It also improve their cholesterol esters level.

I subscribe to the EADES feed from the author of Protein Power, Michael Eades. He attended the American Society of Bariatric Physicians conference last year and this study was presented by two researchers from UConn. I don't have the actual study yet to offer to you to read directly, so I encourage you to take it with a grain of salt.

Also, my apologies for being somewhat absent over the last several weeks. My nephew was in the hospital for a month and was very ill with a MRSA infection. (He's home now and is doing much better.)

I hope everyone is well!  Please comment, contribute, argue! We need to rev up the energy here.

Thanks!  -Laurie

Remember the "a calorie is a calorie" argument? Well it's not... not nearly.

In order for the body to give off more heat, more of the calories consumed must be lost as heat. This means the body is working harder at using these calories and so 1000 calories of carbohydrate does NOT equal 1000 calories of protein in potential weight gain/loss. Many more calories are expended by the body in turning protein (and fat) into sugar, and the net calories actually used by the body for other functions is far less.
