Has anyone tried the Dreamfields Pasta?

I question anything that is "too good to be true" but I have tried the Dreamfields Penne pasta and it was tasty. I could only eat about 6 pieces of pasta, but it satisfied the desire. Below are two links regarding the pasta -- FAQ and the Nutrition Panel.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!

Yes, I've tried it. It's virtually indistinguishable from regular Pasta, at least to my taste buds (and I'm Italian). I was able to eat 8 pieces, which was like a feast! I've heard others say they enjoy whole wheat Pasta and rice pasta.

If you do a search for "Dreamfields" or "low carb pasta" on here you''ll find rather lengthy discussions on the topic.

I have never separated digestible carbs for non-digestible carbs. I'll try it though. I'm not inclined to eat Pasta at all during this time when I seem to stall for long periods, but I will make an exception because I'm really curious.

It's available at Albertsons, Vons and Ralphs in my neighborhood.

Thank you so much!

I don't really monitor my carbs but I enjoyed Dreamfields before surgery and still enjoy it to this day!! Tastes great and personally, I can't tell any difference!

Good info, I will have to find that Dreamfields and try it. I haven't had Pasta since my surgery. I don't really crave it, but I wouldn't mind trying it to see how it tastes now and how it goes down.

I saw a story a few months ago about this Australian product called SlimPasta, seemed to be getting good reviews: http://slimpasta.com.au/

I assume it will eventually make it to the U.S. if there's not already a way to order it online.

According to the website, it's almost the same as shiritaki Pasta. When I'm farther out and can incorporate more into my diet, I want to try these noodle alternatives.

I tried it years back when I was doing Atkins, its pretty good, I also heard you can use spaghetti squash alternative too, I've never tried it before though.

This has way too many calories for me! I think I will just stick to my spagetti squash! Thanks for the info anyway! :)

My serving size is more like 1 oz. so 95 calories isn't too bad for a starch.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
