Macaroni for many - wand-zashchalochka. To cook them quickly, they are an excellent side dish to meat or seafood, perfectly combined with any sauces and seasonings. However, it is believed that pasta is included in the category of harmful food, but this judgment is only partially true.
Macaroni - good and bad
The main thing that should be remembered when choosing this product is the label on the packaging, which states which wheat varieties were used in the cooking process. So, macaroni from firm grades (or from a flour of a rough grinding) contain in itself much more useful substances - vitamins , minerals and amino acids. In addition, they have predominantly complex carbohydrates, which stabilize the level of insulin, slowly break down, providing a feeling of satiety for a long time. Such macaroni with losing weight certainly will not harm the figure, especially if there is sport in your life.
If the package includes "pasta", be sure - this product is made from soft wheat varieties, and therefore there are almost no useful substances and fiber in it, but simple carbohydrates are enough. It is these carbohydrates that lead to insulin leaps and provoke a feeling of hunger. Will bring these pasta rather harm, and the benefit from them will be minimal, if at all.
Main recommendations
