Weekly Nutrition Tip - Eat Pasta… Carefully
Eat Pasta… Carefully
by Dr. John Berardi
As a God-fearing Italian, I have to admit that I love pasta. But, as a gut-fearing weight lifter and athlete, I definitely have to choose the lower GI, nutrient dense whole-wheat variety. During training phases that require or allow for higher carbohydrate intake (higher volume training) I’ll eat one whole-wheat pasta meal per day. During other phases (like where I’m trying to lose fat), the pasta stays on the shelf in favor of a higher lean protein, good fat, and fruit and veggie intake.

I also love pasta, but these days I just eat rice pasta or pasta made from corn. I’ve found that cutting out gluten from my diet has made a huge difference to my health and weight. I think you’ve got to shop around a bit to find a decent gluten free pasta. Some are great, but others are like eating cardboard!
