Although pasta is also a carbohydrate, there are several reasons why it is beneficial for weight loss. First, it is high in protein. This is because the main ingredient of pasta noodles is ‘durum wheat semolina’. Durum wheat is a type of wheat that is resistant to high temperatures and is not affected by drought, and has a higher protein content than other grains. If the protein content of rice is 6-8%, durum wheat is 13-16%. Protein is considered the key to dieting because it has a high satiety ratio compared to the calories. Even on a keto diet, you will be able to succeed more easily if you eat a moderate amount of good carbohydrates, such as pasta, rather than completely cutting out carbohydrates.
