My husband got me started on a low pasta kick and I’ve managed to lose weight. It’s not like I’ve dropped 50 pounds but I have shed a few. For some reason I always over eat the pasta. Maybe because I like sauces or maybe because it’s so easy to chew (practice for when I lose all my teeth). Whatever it is I end up with a huge plate or pasta and marinara sauce or pasta and thousand island or something like that and I get really full but then I want to clean the plate and 5 pounds later…. my pants don’t fit anymore.
