Dreamfields "low Carb" Pasta



Recommended Posts

Hello! I have gone to numerous grocery stores and I keep seeing Dreamfields Healthy Carb Living Pasta. While a 2oz serving has 41 carbs, they said that there are only 5 carbs because those are the only digestible carbs (the other carbs are Fiber or protected carbs, whatever thise are). I am a pasta LOVER, but I'm also a skeptic. 5 carbs in a bowl of pasta?? Has anyone spoken to their NUT or doctor about this or tried the pasta themselves?

My family has this about once a week, or every other week. My NUT approved it, and actually suggested it. And the cool thing, it actually tastes like ...... PASTA!!!! Not wet cardboard like the other low carb Pasta options I've tried. Good stuff!

If you like Pasta, check out www.Emilybites.com she has a pizza baked spaghetti recipe, a 4 cheese and sausage stuffed shell pasta recipe, and the lasagna cupcakes are great for lunches!

These are all staples at my house! I use the dream fields for the pizza spaghetti and hunts 4 cheese sauce.

I love it. It taste like regular Pasta. Another thing it doesn't run my blood sugar up. Regular pasta runs my blood sugar sky high. Dreamfield pasta don't.

I've used these (pics) Shirataki Noodles, they are endorsed by Hungry Girl and have angel hair, spaghetti, macaroni, fetuccini, etc. my fave is the angel hair Pasta it is tofu, so really it will take on the flavor of any sauce you put it in. Okay, it smells a little funky when you open the package, but I normally throw the pasta in a colander to remove the liquid and rinse it with some hot Water before putting it in the sauce and heating. I'm still pre-op but my old NUT told me these were good as a filler (she still wanted me to get SOME carbs at least) she approved though... This one says 20 calories (5 fat cals.) and 3 g carbs per serving (2 servings per package)

      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!!
