Earlier
this year, a couple paesani researchers in the terra dei miei antenati
concluded that their “comparative analysis of data from two different
Mediterranean populations supports that pasta intake is negatively associated
with both indexes of obesity status and prevalence of overweight and obesity.”
Translation
please for us middle-aged men meatheads!
According
to one internet news article, “Eating pasta is not fattening and
actually decreases the chances of becoming obese, a new Italian study has found.”
Researchers
added in their discussion how their results are in agreement with a prior study
examining food and nutrient intakes in association with the body mass index of
American middle-aged adults. That prior
study reported that pasta intake among other food groups was negatively
associated with body mass index.
Moreover,
they added, evidence from Greek islands supports a favorable role of
carbohydrate intake on central and general obesity.
So
what is this middle-aged man’s “of first impression response” to this news?
Mangia
mangia!

You know of those Twizzler things, where you rip off a strip from the rope. It's my belief if you add a pasta sauce to the strips, most people wouldn't know they're eating candy.
What do you think of doing bodyweight squats for 1-2 minutes after a meal like this?
I saw it on Dr. Oooze's show, and he said that there may be a benefit because it may use the sugar in your blood stream from the meal as the fuel when working the major muscles in your butt and legs. Therefore, less sugar to turn into reserve fat.
