5 Protein rich pastas that I ate during my fat loss journey. I have recently lost 20kg weight so I have some credibility to speak on what might work for you as well. I have never starved myself but I picked my food very carefully to make sure I eat nutritious food while losing weight. In Indian household we cook and eat what taste better not what makes your body actually better. We barely care about nutrition while cooking.
So Whenever I wanted to replace my “Wheat roti and Sev ki sabzi” with something nutritious, or when my taste buds were simply asking for something different, I found different type of pastas that are high in protein and give you good nutrition as well.
