Hey everyone! Question about pasta. The book says to get Dreamfields pasta because it is higher in fiber, coming in at 5g fiber, 7 g protein and 41 g carb. It is also pretty expensive.

I have compared boxes with other whole wheat/high in fiber pastas that are cheaper (Ronzoni Healthy Harvest 100% whole wheat and Barilla Whole Grain). Ronzoni has 5g fiber, 9 g protein and 39 g carbs... so that would be even better than Dreamfields, right? And it is cheaper. Barilla is 6g fiber, 7g protein and 41 g carbs.

Can I go with the cheaper alternatives instead of Dreamfields or am I missing something?

Whole wheat pasta, if it is not sprouted, is not considered on plan.

What about Tinkyada Brown Rice Pasta? That's what we've used for years but we're about to go into THM soon and I'm trying to navigate things here. I'd prefer not to eat wheat pasta if possible but eventually we're going to get sick of zoodles and spaghetti squash.

Konjac noodles are also a great option!

msjongg: Just wondering... Are rice noodles on plan? Nov 15, 2016 15:37:21 GMT -5

queen: Probably a good idea to start a topic asking about it. Generally, I think they want you to use the whole grains rather than something made from brown rice flour, but maybe there's more to know about it. Nov 17, 2016 0:11:45 GMT -5

queen: Got a notice that the THM website is having a big cyber-Monday sale and are offering a couple new items. They have also introduced flat rate shipping. Time to stock up on that Gentle Sweet.

mamaj123: what supplements are recommended on plan? I believe they talk about it in the original book, but I don't have mine right now Dec 5, 2016 16:50:34 GMT -5

queen: Depends on what you are looking to do. Can you start a topic about it? Dec 8, 2016 14:15:13 GMT -5

marmee: Confused about how to ask a question... Mar 27, 2017 15:22:47 GMT -5

queen: Just ask? Apr 2, 2017 22:13:14 GMT -5

marmee: Sorry to be such an... Older woman but I'm not abl to figure out how to use the forum. I have been able to read a few posts. Apr 4, 2017 6:40:01 GMT -5

marmee: One question: if I have early morning coffee with coconut oil ( or if I choose cream) are they considered a snack, should I wait 3 hours before eating? If I eat an S meal soon there after am I ok? Would that be a problem if I eat an E meal soon after? Apr 4, 2017 6:41:55 GMT -5

queen: You can post here if you like. But you can start a post by entering a forum (any of the linked titles above this shouting box). Once you are in the forum, you should see a "Create Thread" link in the title bar. Click that to get a posting screen. Apr 5, 2017 16:30:19 GMT -5

queen: If you eat an S meal within an hour of your oil/cream coffee, it is all considered the same meal. Otherwise, you need to wait the 3 hours. Apr 5, 2017 16:31:29 GMT -5

cat31: Is this an active forum? All the posts I see are old. Apr 25, 2017 9:51:16 GMT -5

timberlinemomma: hey is there any favorite NSI sweatpants meals that anyone would like to share? I am a newbie and would like this to be easy peasy no special ingredients other than the things I have in my fridge and cupboards that are on plan but not NSI. Thank you!! Oct 26, 2018 13:00:17 GMT -5

queen: I started a thread for you, timberlinemomma: trimhealthymama.freeforums.net/thread/3728/favorite-nsi-meals-keeping-simple Nov 28, 2018 10:56:23 GMT -5

auntchocolate: I have a question i am still confused about crossover meals how exactly do i incorporate them and how often ? Dec 2, 2019 1:09:22 GMT -5

queen: If you are in weight loss mode, you avoid them. Maybe throw in one or two a month if you aren't losing well. It can help to shake things up and get losses started again. Feb 17, 2020 11:06:32 GMT -5
