pasta?

[Guest guest]

As far as i know know pasta contains a lot of atarch (someone please correct

me if i am wrong). And eating big doses of starch foods such as pasta, rice

and potatoes, etc. is good for a very active lifestyle. If you dont expend a

lot of energy throughout the day through such as physical work, physical

excercise and activity. Then it will build up and turn to fat. if you have a

verry

active lifestyle you should get more starches if you dont you wont burn them and

they will be converted to fat. So the amount you ingest should directly

relate to how much energy your body uses on a given day.

Sat Nam Marco,

 

I would suggest to be guided by 3 things - common sense, your tastebuds and

the joy of eating.

 

First of all - whatever serves you to feel good, is good. If you like

eating spaghetti, simply eat them. But balance your diet - eat of

everything in moderate and appropriate quantities and qualities. According

to the ayurvedic science you need to satisfy all tastebuds and balance your

food according to your dosha - not every diet servers everybody in the same

way. Find your own way.

 

Finally, eating is (at least for me) more than just filling the stomach

with some energy to digest. I really enjoy once in a while the nice Sunday

evenings with my wife, having a bowl of spaghetti al dente with a good

home-made sugo (you know, the one simmered for hours on the stove made out

of fresh pomodore, garlic and olive oil...), eating some salad, enjoying a

glass (sometimes even two) of delicious red wine and listening to some

music of Eros Ramazotti, while the room is lit only by candles.... You get

the point ? Eating is a feast for the senses and feeds not only the

physical body. Be conscious about it. And you have just performed another

yoga-exercise ;-)

 

Hmm, getting hungry now. So to make it simple - enjoy live! Choose well,

eat well, chew well and have fun!
