Does eating whole wheat pasta really make that big of a difference?
I like it, and I've been eating it instead of regular for probably 2 years now.. but I'm really wondering if it really makes that big of a difference?

yes it does because you are consuming more fiber which makes you fuller longer and less refind sugar as you would with regular

Ohhh I need to start eating whole wheat pasta. I had it the other night and it wasn't too bad. I'm so used to regular pasta! But I'm gonna try to make the switch.

Whole wheat doesn't sit in your stomach its absorbed faster. White starches sit longer which turns into fat. I try to only eat whole wheat. Some things taste just as good if not better.

exactly - and honestly if you have been eating it and you like it there is no reason for you to go back to regular pasta. I am slowly getting FH used to eating it because I prefer whole wheat pasta vs. reg.

It's also got a lower glycemic index cause of the fiber which keeps your blood sugar more level and doesn't sent it spiking and dipping like white pasta or other refined carbs do.
You know, I KNOW how to eat really well.. I just DON'T DO IT! It's an addiction! It's sad.

Agreed with all the above...
And it just tastes better. I love whole wheat- especially in a primavera

Another really good Pasta is Dream fields. It has a fiber coating on it and is even better for you then whole wheat and it tastes better!

i''ve tried the whole wheat pasta and i think its so nasty. being 100% italian with off the boat parents - this just tastes gross to me. i don't eat pasta enough during the week to have whole wheat pasta when i do have it.
everything in moderation!

I just got a mix for whole wheat pancakes! What did you think of them?
FH and I eat everything whole wheat/whole grains. I really like the whole wheat pasta and haven't noticed any difference in taste.

My Fh and I did them together... u know.. we use skin milk instead of water... and OH BOY! We Love them!!! The Mix said if you wanted ur pancakes mroe fluffy then add milk instead of water, and they were delicious! We did a lot too! I even made the next day a 'Pile' for my family and they love it! I got the Mix in Whole Foods!
I dont taste any difference in the taste I LOVE IT regardless!!!
