Summary: <br> <br> Pasta has gotten a bad rap over the past few years. It has been categorized as a fattening food and been placed in the bad carbohydrate category. Some people have even claimed that it has a high glycemic index. But are any of these claims actually true?<br> That’s an important question to ask because many people love pasta but have been avoiding it like the plague because they believe that it is bad for them. Especially when they are trying to lose weight. But are we operating under the right assumptions? So, today I am going to dedicate this show to pasta and nothing but pasta. I am going to go over what pasta is, discuss whether it is healthy or not and give you some tips on how to make it as healthy as possible.<br> <br> Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia and <a href="http://www.ilovepasta.org">ilovepasta.org</a>.<br> The video podcast for this week is:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/bhtv001/">Sit Up Straight!</a><br> <br> The blog posts for this week are:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/snoring/">Stop Snoring!</a><br> * <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/archives/cereal/">Breakfast Cereal Selection: Health vs Hype</a><br> <br> If you like the show, please head on over to iTunes and give me a nice review.
