Low Carb Diet question

[jwblue]

Are crackers and pasta considered high in carbohydrates? I would like to try a low carb diet for a few months, but would find it difficult to not eat those two foods.

Thanks.

The short answer is "yes".

Those diets are crap. Best diet is to eat more meals in smaller portions. You can eat whatever you want, just stick to portion guidelines.

the low carb diet will drop alot of weight off and can keep it off for about 3 yrs then watch out its all back and you cant stay away from the carbs. really messes with your system. yes pasta lots of carbs, crackers not bad can be used as snack.

White flour, found in most pastas and crackers is high in carbs, and not very nutritious. You can still eat pasta, but eat the whole wheat, or the low carb brands. Still taste pretty good, but watch out for your sauces. Most sauces have a ton of sugar in them.

Whole wheat crackers are easily found. Just make sure that the first ingredient is whole wheat flour.

I started the South Beach Diet several years ago, just to lose 15, or so lbs., which came off very quickly, but I don't like the restrictions. Found a better way to handle it was by just cutting the "bad" carbs and eating more complex carbs.
