I have noticed that with this, eating reasonable amount of carbs as part of regular meals during the day is fine. And by reasonable, for me its third carbs, third veggies and third meat. The 14 hours gap is the crucial part, because that gives a chance to burn the carbs and also burn some of the stored fat.
To add to that, avoid whole wheat "healthier option" pastas. I'm from a pasta eating family, and I've noticed that the closer to the proper Italian pasta my noodles are (as in made with durum flour and as fresh as possible), the better I feel after eating them.
I can see that working out because you made the pasta yourself, so you had full control of the ingredients. Those "healthier" option boxed pastas are usually made with enhanced wheat flour and have additives that end up hurting you, not healing you.
Yeah, the mistaken belief that "wholemeals" or "multigrain breads" are somehow any less unhealthier than their "white" preprocessed counterparts is quite rampant.
If you want to eat healthy carbs, your best bet is to actually get unrefined grains and use them.
Also, cooking your own pasta, for example, is far more healthier than a preprocessed "healthier option" pasta.
And if you have the time and space to do it, making pasta from scratch is so worth it. It may take a few tries, but once you get the knack of it, you'll realize that boxed pastas aren't even in the same galaxy as far as taste and versatility.
yeah I'm same, giving up bread and pasta was no big deal once circadian rhythms were fixed.
Eat a big protein/fat breakfast as close to waking up as you can, ideally eat outside around or after sunrise.
Get in full spectrum sun daily
Get it much much closer to natural dark conditions after the sun goes down,
Keep off the bright screens / tech after hours as well.
All of this directly impacts cravings. What needs to happen is the leptin receptor needs to accurately assess the leptin amounts in the body, and this drives appetites. Leptin is found in high amounts in subcutaneous fat under the skin, so getting skin in sunlight resensitizes this hormone's function.
This is why indigenous or natural lifestyle expats that live down in the subtropics/tropics/equator do not get fat and lethargic. Even if they keep eating rice and other grains... because the UV sunlight is the hormone and energy utilization conductor for the body.
Spelt pasta is probably your best bet if you continue to eat grain products, the added + is that pasta made from spelt has a lot more taste/flavor to it and makes regular pasta seem positively bland and tasteless.
Also, traditionally in Itallian diet pasta was the side to the meat rather than the other way around that has become the reality in modern times, pasta was traditionally something that was eaten with meat rather than the main body of the meal with some meat added for flavor that it has morphed into.
Honestly Italian grains process in the body weight different than American grains. Anyone who's traveled overseas knows just how much the chemicals in American soil and rivers affect our bodies. So many people have been to Italy and back and note that they did not gain weight, they did not feel bloated, they did not feel fogbrain even though they ate nothing but pasta the entire time. Same with my family when we just got back from the Philippines, where young members of my family said they ate whatever they wanted and didn't feel bloated nor did they gain any weight.
I began buying Einkorn wheat, which is the ancient original wheat. And despite being "gluten-sensitive", I can eat everything made with Einkorn with zero problems. It is a little trickier to bake with so you have to follow recipes closely, but it tastes fabulous. NO bloating or other problems. I love it.
no! HAVE to eat pasta? Maybe hope for you if you can cut back on the whites. White sugar, flour, pasta & rice. It's kinda hard though because it's rather addictive. AND it is in everything you eat. Start reading the ingredients. SOY is horrible so watch that one and vegetable oils. Best thing I did for my health was to go carnivore. Start with Dr. Anthony Chaffee " plants want to kill you". That will kinda freak ya out. He's a biologist and a neurosurgeon. And then check out KenDBerry's videos. There is hope!
I'm Italian. I have to eat pasta. Is there any hope for me?? Seriously

IDK man... Bought a flour mill and made me some fresh whole wheat pasta. That stuff is incredible.

Shit im a dietician and I didnt know UVs effects on leptin.
Great info! Thanks... I will try
Great advice.

TLDR: More Meat BETTER....
Thanks! I'll look into it. And, yes, pasta is the side... or sometimes the equal : )

Im actually moving to the phillipines this year. Looking forward to fresh locally grown whole foods. And the women.

That's hopeful... Iwonder if I can trust imports

Every saudage needs some pasta, pal. That's like an Italian covenant! But I hear you. I can cut way back.
My doctor once told me to cut out everything in my diet that's white. That also includes salt as much as possible.
Need that salt!! and lots of it. Redmond salt is the best. And milk? NO way.
Salt makes blood pressure go up, and mine is a bit high.
I haven't drunk milk since I was in high school. But I do love ice cream. I just try to eat it rarely because of the sugar.
Use pink salt
I have some in my stockpile, but I'm not sure that would help things. :)
