Dreamfield Pasta?

[punkzebrachick20]

Does anyone know if Dreamfield Pasta is really low carb?
it says on the box that it has 5 grams of digestable carbs in it? No idea if thats a trick or what! ive had it before when i was on the low carb diet and it didnt seem to bother me...but this time i really want to do everything the right way. Please help!!!

Has anyone had it!? or heard of it?

Dreamfield Pasta are made from wheat, so although it is low carb it is not allowed on Atkins until the grains rung.

Before I was on Atkins we'd already made the switch to Dreamfields, and it's much, much better than whole wheat pasta. It tastes and has the texture of "normal" pasta.

Dreamfields is supposed to avoid blood sugar spikes in diabetics. It works for some, but apparently not for others.
On Atkins it's not allowed until the grains rung of OWL.
I reckon it's the best of the so called "low carb pastas". Best not to overindulge though, IMHO.
I have it occasionally... maybe once a month...but never a huge quantity.

ok... i have a question on this pasta.. 47 carbs with 37 protected carbs but does not say net carbs. 5 grams of fiber per serving, So by our standards.. this would have 42 carbs per serving.. right? What is the protected carbs and do we count them? I see where they get 5 carbs per serving.. if they take the 42 - 37 but do we count that 37 as part of our carb count?

It certainly tastes like the real thing but was my downfall last time as bought back all the cravings. I think there is a place for it in Maintenance but not before (for me). x

Anymore info on this? I am still early in my diet but really miss Alfredo, chix parm, spaghetti etc. It would be nice to know if this would be an option later.

Actually I do not think that is not correct. The 5g of effective carbs is not the same as 5 carbs per serving. You actually had the full carb amount on the box minus the fiber total. What you are reading by the 5g of effective carbs is in relation to how it effects glucose and how much it should raise your blood sugar numbers.

ok you lost me the box has 6 servings i broke up the box into 6 = piles and i only cooked 1 of those piles of pasta so it has 47 grams wictch 37 is protected = 10 - the 5 g of fiber = 5 net carbs right
