Carbohydrates without carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates without carbohydrates?

I know it’s a contradiction, as a title it’s a bad tongue twister.

But in this article I want to talk to you about protein flours and baked goods: protein bread, protein pasta, and all foods with proteins apparently classifiable as carbohydrates but are low-carb foods.
And what do we do with it?
By replacing them with flour and bread, with these foods we promote weight loss by acting on the sense of satiety .

Because they have a low glycemic index (and insulin), they provide proteins (without necessarily stuffing ourselves with meat and fish and especially eggs, for example if we want to stay on a protein diet but we are vegan and vegetarian) and with the appropriate sugar substitutes (fructose, stevia), allow sweets and dishes that will keep us in line without too many sacrifices.

The only drawback: some of them are quite expensive, others less, but in this case you have to do your best and know how to cook. Let’s see what are carbohydrate-looking protein foods? Come on, let’s see.

  1. PROTEIN PASTA.
    It can be found on the internet and in specialized shops, but I recommend the internet. It is a pasta that combines wheat with albumin and which has the same calories as traditional pasta, but the bulk of the contribution is protein.
    It should be seasoned well with sauces and sauces, not in white in practice or it “curls up”. You can find it here . That of the Nutriwell or Pasta Zone has far fewer calories (229) and an almost equal amount of protein and carbohydrates.
    Finally, Kilioff pasta tastes like an excellent pasta with a high protein value and low glycemic index, also because it does not overcook. This obviously over konjac shirataki. 
  2. PROTEIN BREAD.
    If like me you adore bread, I recommend the Rivalta bread . It has fewer calories than the traditional one, mostly of protein derivation.
    It has a high fiber content. Otherwise the bread from the Ciao carb line . With gluten, rice fiber and wheat fiber. There is also the protein pizza, the protein flatbread, the protein focaccia that you find on Amazon such as Pizza Ri.Ma.
  3. PROTEIN FLOUR.
    The ideal are Fiberpasta flours : fewer calories, more fiber, low glycemic index. Ideal in all those recipes where the use of refined and white flours is required. You can also try pasta, biscuits and low glycemic index pizza of the same brand.
    But if we don’t want to spend a lot of money, have more choice and make protein desserts and pizzas, we can also focus on whole grain flours and legumes other than wheat and not refined. Alternatively, degreased coconut flours are available on the market today (Probios or Finestra sul Cielo brand). , batters, quiches, but also as thickeners, and have a high protein value: there are also lupine flour , hemp flour , lentil flour. Just add these flours to wholemeal or kamut or buckwheat flour to obtain doughs for sweets and salty baked goods with a higher protein content, high fiber content, low glycemic index.
