Hi Dupa,
Can You Eat Pasta and Still Lose Weight? Absolutely!
When I first began my journey of losing 50 pounds, I believed, like many do, that pasta had to go. But everything changed when I discovered the Mediterranean Diet. Not only did I lose the weight and keep it off, but I did it while enjoying pasta dishes like today’s featured recipe: Creamy Rigatoni with Ricotta and Spinach.
It may sound surprising, but science backs it up. Studies have found that eating pasta, when part of a Mediterranean-style diet, does not lead to weight gain, in fact, it can support weight loss. The key is pairing pasta with whole foods: think olive oil, leafy greens, and a moderate portion size. That’s exactly what we’ve done with this dish.
The Mediterranean way taught me that successful weight loss isn’t about deprivation. It’s about loving what you eat, enjoying food that makes you feel good, and embracing a lifestyle you can sustain for life.
So yes, you can eat pasta and lose weight. I’m living proof—and this recipe is a delicious place to start.
