Carbs continue to be a very controversial area of dieting. However, a carb restricted diet isn't for everyone and frankly, if carb dieting accomplished permanent weight loss for everyone who was physically able to carb diet, we would have our Weight Loss Solution in hand. Fact is, carb dieting may be a fantastic mode of weight loss for some individuals, but it's not a magic cure for weight gain or permanent weight maintenance for everyone.

Although delicious, pasta tends to be very high in calories. A healthier alternative is spaghetti squash - which tastes a bit like manufactured spaghetti but over time I've found that it depends upon the specimen. I've had more than one spaghetti squash turn out extra stringy with a barky taste.

On a high note, spaghetti and other pastas are generally prepared with enriched flour, thus lending health benefits.

Grains are also important part of your diet - so be sure to include plenty of those every day. Foods rich in fiber help combat cholesterol to ensure a healthy heart. They also are filling which is particularly important to the dieter.
