Has anyone tried the Dreamfields Pasta?

I question anything that is "too good to be true" but I have tried the Dreamfields Penne pasta and it was tasty. I could only eat about 6 pieces of pasta, but it satisfied the desire. Below are two links regarding the pasta -- FAQ and the Nutrition Panel.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!

Yes, I've tried it. It's virtually indistinguishable from regular Pasta, at least to my taste buds (and I'm Italian). I was able to eat 8 pieces, which was like a feast! I've heard others say they enjoy whole wheat Pasta and rice pasta.

If you do a search for "Dreamfields" or "low carb pasta" on here you''ll find rather lengthy discussions on the topic.

I have never separated digestible carbs for non-digestible carbs. I'll try it though. I'm not inclined to eat Pasta at all during this time when I seem to stall for long periods, but I will make an exception because I'm really curious.

It's available at Albertsons, Vons and Ralphs in my neighborhood.

Thank you so much!

I don't really monitor my carbs but I enjoyed Dreamfields before surgery and still enjoy it to this day!! Tastes great and personally, I can't tell any difference!

Good info, I will have to find that Dreamfields and try it. I haven't had Pasta since my surgery. I don't really crave it, but I wouldn't mind trying it to see how it tastes now and how it goes down.

I saw a story a few months ago about this Australian product called SlimPasta, seemed to be getting good reviews: http://slimpasta.com.au/

I assume it will eventually make it to the U.S. if there's not already a way to order it online.

According to the website, it's almost the same as shiritaki Pasta. When I'm farther out and can incorporate more into my diet, I want to try these noodle alternatives.

I tried it years back when I was doing Atkins, its pretty good, I also heard you can use spaghetti squash alternative too, I've never tried it before though.

This has way too many calories for me! I think I will just stick to my spagetti squash! Thanks for the info anyway! :)

My serving size is more like 1 oz. so 95 calories isn't too bad for a starch.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
