ANALYSIS: Stop hating on pasta — it's not the diet enemy you think it is

abc.net.au/news/stop-hating-pasta-healthy-ratio-carbs-protein-fat/101845390New year, new you, new diet. It's a familiar refrain. One popular dieting technique is to create a food blacklist.

Waste of time food. Doesn't do you any great good either. Maybas we'll eat Maccas

I used to have an eating disorder and avoided carbs and higher energy foods like the plague. I now eat a lot of pasta with veg (as I live on a low income) and my weight is still healthy, thankfully, and I feel full.

. BUSHIT PASTA is the enemy to diets. DO NOT EAT IT. Do not eat carbohydrates and sugars if you want to lose weight. Your body only burns body fat if there are no sugars/carbs in your blood. I'm not sating eat less pasta - I'm saying don't eat ANY pasta (carbs). .

Hating on? It’s what I expect trailer trash to say.

I'm sure you're right about diet advice Emma

‘Hating on’?

My problem is any food. I eat everything too often and too much.

I’m not hating on it, though
