I love pasta. If you choose to diet with frozen "diet" food entrees, you will find it very easy to enjoy pasta, because MOST of the entrees are pasta. However, looking back at my original plan designed in 2009, Diet Royale™ The Originale, I found an important notation, which will sadly limit your pasta intake, BIG TIME.
The important notation, found in the Tips box, states:
"4. Only have one serving of bread a day.
5. Only have two servings of pasta A MONTH.
6. No more than 3 servings of rice or potatoes a week."
- Diet Royale™ The Originale published by M.E. Gober on FatSecret.com
This is an important notation because it was advice I had received from a dietitian early on. My doctor at the time warned me that I was borderline diabetic and assigned me a medical dietician or "life coach." His plan instructed me to only have 1 serving of bread a day, only have 2 servings of pasta A MONTH and no more than 3 servings of rice and potatoes a week. I recall it had something to do with the way our bodies process food in our intestine and that these three carb and starch heavy foods can sit in our gut for a long time, weighing us down. So try to keep this in mind as you plan your meals. Pasta should now be considered a treat. Rice noodles are okay, but only 3 times a week.
Craving Noodles? Your best option in the "diet" frozen food category with simulated pasta is Thai Style Chicken and Rice Noodles by Weight Watchers.
