Truth or Myth: The Lies you Believe about Losing Weight #3

Eating Pasta Makes you Fat

It's not the Pasta that's making you fat, it's the way you're eating it. hence the image. This is a lot of pasta, probably filled with cheese, doused in a heavy cream sauce...It looks absolutely divine, and this is the pull. I've long said that pasta should be a side dish. I love Pasta! I don't want to give it up, but once you pile a plate high, smother on some sauce and load it up with cheese, you've now created a very fattening dish indeed.

What to do? Well Dr. Oz says to use the A-OK sign with your fingers as a measurement for uncooked pasta. I say it's going to be different for different people but if you have a cup of pasta and drop on top of it a beautiful piece of salmon or chicken and then put a little bit of pesto or even cooking juices (cooked in olive oil of course) over the top, you have quite a lovely & healthy dish.
