Have you ever wondered how unhealthy it could be, when you eat only pasta? It is said that eating pasta has a salutary impact on one's digestive tract. However, pasta has a very high energic value. This problem together with the fact that a lot of people eat a lot of pasta make scientists believe that pasta cause a much of the obesity in the population.
Let's look at this problem in a more chemical way. What's pasta made from? Well, it's made from grain. And grain consists a very much of carbohydrates, which are very important source of the energy.
As we are aware of metabolic pathways, Glucose is the product of catabolic processes of more complex carbohydrates, like a starch. If people were eating only as much food as their bodies needed for survive, eating pasta wouldn't be a big problem. But it is widely known that we eat much more than we actually need and therefore food with high energic value is not requisite today. It would be shrewd to eat more proteins, because they don't possess such a high percentage of transformation into fats like carbohydrates do.
So there is a need for a change and I have found a very interesting solution. Don't eat ordinary pasta, eat protein noodles instead!
Scientists invented some time ago a new type of pasta: Protein pasta, which mainly consists of proteins rather than of carbohydrates. This improvement has many effects: with replacing pasta for protein noodles as one of the main food of a day, one can significantly reduce superfluous energic value of nutritives.
Protein noodles are made from egg whites enriched with fiber. They are a good source of animal proteins and lack gluten. Protein noodles don't consist of any added sugar, fat or conservatives together with any redundant salt. Thus, they are proper to eat for diabetics, people with high cholesterol and for people on a gluten-free diet.
With only 28% energic value of normal pasta, protein noodles seem to be very promising for reductive diets.
The only thing remaining to solve is the taste :-)
