FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted October 7, 2012 I've always been told no rice or Pasta but wasn't told why??? carbs maybe? My band does not like rice ... I have tried it prepared six ways from Sunday and it always gives me problems so I stay away. A small amount of wheat Pasta is fine for me. I limit myself to 1/4 cup and don't have any trouble. If I eat more then that ... It usually comes back up. In addition to the calories I think you need to be careful because pasta slides easily... And we forget to chew it.

donna12 742 Posted October 7, 2012 thank you all for the info. I had a craving today for Chinese fried rice but refrained. Old habits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted October 7, 2012 I eat rice, Pasta, bread, potatoes, etc. all regularly if not daily. But I don't follow a low carb diet, either. 2 angel_eyes4477 and donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angel_eyes4477 65 Posted October 7, 2012 I'm with Missy. I eat that stuff also on a regular basis. I fix a chicken and rice casserole that is awesome, but a little high in sodium. I need to find some low sodium cream of chicken Soup or learn to make my own. I don't wanna give up my casserole. It is high in Protein and would be good for ya if not for the sodium. 1 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElleG 394 Posted October 7, 2012 I could not eat rice in the beginning. It was horrible, I can now. I make sure nothing I eat us dry, if it appears slightly dry I will not eat it. That causes me a huge problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted October 7, 2012 I eat rice and Pasta without issues as well. Granted I don't eat a lot and I do tend to mix it with my other food. Curry and rice tastes so much more normal than curry on it's own. And no potatoes, rice and pasta are not high in calories although everyone believes they are - it is the stuff that you add to them that is generally high in calories. 1 kyrasgrandma reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
