Makes me wonder if pasta is not as bad as we think

I read about this a while ago then forgot all about it! I'm reluctant to test it now as my BG is still too high, but I look forward to hearing if other people try it. Will try it myself one day when I'm more stable, can't wait!

Ha - I like your thinking - still wouldn't risk eating pasta - even with a moderate spike. Although I have tried eating slim rice and that's brilliant

I've tried the Slim pasta, noodles and rice, all good with no carbs, but I'd still prefer to eat the real stuff if possible.
Maybe pre-cooked pasta reheated by stir-frying with butter, that sounds good

Resistant Starch, there was a few discussions on this subject last year when the programme was aired.
