Whole wheat pasta and brown rice... Yes or no?

[AliciaRenee84 3]

I've heard so many people say yes to whole wheat Pasta and brown rice, but here recently I've heard no.

Opinions???????

Skip the carbs period if you want to lose weight. Eating Protein and veggies works for us. Being diabetic makes this an easy choice because I am off Metformin and don't want to go back, ever!

If you "have" to have Pasta or rice then it is a better choice, but my NUT pointed out how high in calories they are so I haven't touched them since 2 months before surgery. Just another one of my former weight loss mistakes...changing to whole wheat pasta and brown rice and wondering why I wasn't losing weight!

That's gonna be the hardest thing for me because I LOVE carbs, but if I want the results I want, it must be done.

Hopefully my body will stop craving it after awhile.

It's very likely you will stop craving them. I wanted carbs badly after surgery, but after a couple of months I found high carb/starch food unpalatable.

I was a huge carb addict. I am 6 weeks post op, I really don't crave it anymore. You will learn to live without carbs for sure!! Hang in there...

Try using a spaghetti squash as noodles .

Things that I used to adore (Pasta and sweets especially) make me feel AWFUL. I actually gagged when I heard someone order a chocolate fudge sundae and I adored chocolate before surgery. That being said, I still look at things and wish I could have them. I guess my brain hasn't caught up with my stomach.

I am hoping I can tolerate some Pasta - I bought brown rice pasta and if I can eat a small portion, every couple of weeks, I will be a very happy lady:-)

As long as I get my Protein in I don't usually have room for Pasta or rice, but if I have had my protein first, then my veggies, and still have room for a bite of rice or pasta I will have it. It never happens though.
I will admit, here and there I have had a bite before my protein, but only on a rare occasion.. I don't really have much of a taste for it anymore.
