Is it ok to lose weight and eat spaghetti?
Of course.

A study found that eating spaghetti does not increase weight or body fat. According to the research results, participants in clinical trials ate an average of 3.3 servings of pasta per week instead of other carbohydrates, but they did not gain weight.

Pasta is rich in carbohydrates and can be quickly absorbed into the blood of consumers, so it is not the best choice for most dieters. However, the glycemic index of pasta is low, which means that its influence on blood sugar level is not as great as that of foods with high glycemic index.

After analyzing these controlled trials, the researchers tried to determine whether taking pasta as part of the diet would have a negative impact on weight loss or weight gain. * * * 2500 people participated in 30 randomized controlled trials. The task of these experiments is to make participants eat pasta instead of other carbohydrates. Pasta is part of a low glycemic index diet, which means that participants do not eat high glycemic index foods.

The team concluded that participants did not experience body fat gain or weight gain because of pasta. In fact, the analysis shows a slight weight loss, so pasta is part of a healthy diet, such as a low GI diet.
