4. how about trying this pasta?

No refined carbs allowed. I'd kill for a plate of pasta and a slice of pie right now.

I have some chickpea pasta in my cupboard, but I haven't tried it yet. I understand it is not necessarily low carb, but it's a different kind of carb--the kind that burns slowly and where there is no blood sugar spike from the carbs. It is, after all, made from chickpeas, which is a legume.

Although chickpea pasta may not have the same nutrient profile of the kind made with wheat, it offers plenty of health benefits of its own. With high protein and fiber, plus plenty of micronutrients, these unorthodox noodles are definitely a healthy stand-in for your favorite spaghetti, penne, or lasagna. Plus, many people find it cooks and tastes almost exactly like traditional pasta.
