Types of pasta: not all macaroni are equally useful
There are many different pastas - some of them useful, others - lead to extra pounds. We will understand what is suitable for a macaroni diet:
- macaroni from durum wheat . A note on this should be found on the package. Such solid pasta is cooked for a long time, it does not boil and is incredibly useful, since it enriches the body with fiber;
- ordinary pasta . They can easily be boiled and turned into a sticky dough. In them there is no fiber, nor anything else that can be useful. It is better to refuse such a product;
- pasta with additives . This can be pasta made from buckwheat or some other flour, pasta with the addition of Jerusalem artichoke and many other kinds. They belong to useful varieties and saturate the body with fiber, and can also be used as macaroni for weight loss.
Cooked pasta is best used in the morning, as it is still
Cooking pasta
Italians eat macaroni all the time, but there are not many Italians. Why? The secret is simple: they eat only pasta from durum wheat and prepare them correctly. So, pasta boiled "al dente":
- Boil water at a rate of 1 liter per 100 g of dry pasta, salt.
- Dip the pasta in boiling water and hold no more than five minutes.
That's all the cooking. If at first the macaroni seem raw, then in time you will probably get used to such a taste. Only such pasta will promote weight loss, but not hinder it.
