Top 7 easy family favourite pasta dishes
A study shown in BMJ Open, illustrated that pasta, when eaten in a low-GI diet, can actually help you lose weight!
Researchers from St Michael’s Hospital in Toronto found that those who ate pasta as part of a low-GI diet actually ended up losing a small amount of weight, 0.63 kg to be exact.
The Healthy Mummy believes that when eating a balanced diet from ALL the different food groups, including pasta, will help you see great weight loss results.
