Dreamfields Pasta?

Laureen said:

My point was this: The TEENY TINY serving size. One would have to eat 4
servings at least (I MAY BE WAY OFF HERE ok)?) and then multiply the
carb count by 4 and you have way too many carbs. It's a "why bother"
thing IMHO.

Well... 4 servings is a half a pound of pasta. Uncooked. That's a ton.

For me, a 2oz uncooked portion isn't teeny tiny... and the other "why
bother" thing is that in the past with "regular" carby pasta I could eat
a GIANT portion and then be ravenously hungry right after.

Dreamfields does not give me cravings. I can eat a 2 or 3 oz portion,
be happy and not have any post meal craving fallout.

And for me, it works with my glucose levels. I'm one of the lucky ones.

Well, yeah, half a lb. would be way beyond my capacity, yikes.

That was my experience, too.

This is true for me, too, and none of the bloating I used to get from pasta.

And I'm not, though metformin has eased the spike somewhat. I found it
spiked me at about the third hour and took forever to come down.

This sounds like a copout to me. I broke a long family tradition of
smoking and eating huge desserts with every meal. I've also hopefully
broken a tradition that 'goes way back' in my family of dying young
from heart attacks and strokes. Some family traditions need to be
broken.

Susan, I've had trader4 killfiled in my newsreaer for several months.
I gather from seeing your side of this conversation that you now can
understand why.

Susan...

If you like it, you could give it a shot as a small add on to meals.

For example, I make a "lasagna" using a lot of ground meat (turkey or
beef), homemade tomato sauce, ricotta, mozzarella, but only 1/3 cup
(uncooked) Dreamfields elbows. The small bit of really really makes me
feel like I'm eating lasagna, but it's small enough to fly under my
glucose radar.

Same thing with a tuna / pasta salad. More tuna than noodles.

That's all I do; my family has most of it, I take a small amount, like a
condiment sized serving. I find, though, that even though I don't spike
high this way, it will crank up my foot neuropathy the same as any other
white flour food. :-/

I make lasagna using the incredibly fresh tasting and thin no boil
Barilla lasagna noodles, sausage, chopped spinach, lots of ricotta and
mozzarella and parmesan. Three whole noodles have about 38 grms of
carb. I peel off the top noodle and eat it with all the chees on it,
and leave the other noodle layers on my plate, my family eats all of
theirs.

I just put tuna in my tuna salad. ;-)
