People have very different ideas about what they should or should not be eating in order to lose weight. I have read lots of posts where people say to cut carbs or restrict them severely. I've also read posts saying not to eat pasta, rice, bread, or potatoes. My opinion is that we live in the world, and we need to learn to eat everything we enjoy in moderation. Are you eating a moderate amount of pasta? Does the pasta fit in well with the number of calories overall you are consuming each day? Are you eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit in addition to the soup you have for dinner? Is the soup prepared in healthy way, so it does not include a lot of fat, sugar, or salt? If so, and you enjoy the soup, then I'd say keep eating it. Also, by "wheat pasta," do you mean whole wheat pasta? Whole wheat pasta is good because it has more fiber than regular pasta, and it will help you feel fuller longer.

I eat pasta as well. I get Dreamfields because it is lower in carbs. I'm not on a low carb diet, but I like it because it reduces my carb intake overall and tastes the same as regular pasta. It annoys me when people say "rice is bad for you, potatoes are bad for you, pasta is bad for you, blah blah blah". Really? I think they're just buying into the hype.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
