I am confused....I received a catalog from a bariatric company. I think it was BE. Not sure. I was looking at all the different products and saw that they have a bunch of ready to go meals. I thought that getting a few would be good for in a pinch or if I go to a friend's house. Anyway, Most of them were pasta based or had rice. I was confused by this. Is pasta something we can/should work back into our eating over time? Granted I HAVE had a teeny weeny bit of Penne Ala Vodka at a party, but can't imagine making it my whole meal....

Just seemed odd that a bariatric catalog would have these items.

I agree it's odd. During the weight loss phase I have eaten very low carb. I plan on introducing "good carbs" when I am maintaining (only 4 pounds to go!). I consider 100% whole wheat pasta a good carb.

Past is not something we cant have. It is something we shouldnt. no protien/ all carbs. I would think if you want some as a treat,have no more than half a cup. Try and get a little protien in with it. I have had it once a month, in the last 3 months. but proportionatly, It was half pasta and half shrimp or lobster.
