Protein Pasta for Weight Loss

Make your own protein pasta!

During my diet, in the Attack Phase, pasta is not allowed--however...

Pasta is allowed from the third phase onwards – the Consolidation Phase which lasts 5 days for every pound lost. During this period, you will be allowed pasta, two servings (1 cup) per week. However, I know from experience that a dieter gives in and finds in a bowl of pasta the gratification they need to make a fresh start. In both cases, this secret of how to use pasta will be useful to you. If possible choose whole grain pasta. It's denser, tastier and has a more flavor. Leave the pasta to soak in some skim milk for three minutes. It will absorb the milk and you'll have denser, more satiating pasta. The pasta’s slow sugars will be rebalanced by the protein content. Then you can mix in some tomatoes and a light sprinkling of parmesan.
