Eat Pasta... Carefully
As a God-fearing Italian, I have to admit that I love pasta. But, as
a gut-fearing weight lifter and athlete, I definitely have to choose
the lower GI, nutrient dense whole-wheat variety. During training
phases that require or allow for higher carbohydrate intake (higher
volume training) I'll eat one whole-wheat pasta meal per day. During
other phases (like where I'm trying to lose fat), the pasta stays on
the shelf in favor of a higher lean protein, good fat, and fruit and
veggie intake.
