Broadcaster Pungja said she lost 17 kg by including pasta in her dinner, calling it “the best greasy Western choice” during her diet. Modern pasta made from durum wheat semolina (durum wheat semolina) has roughly twice the protein of common wheat and digests more slowly, which helps slow blood sugar spikes and increase satiety per calorie. Nutrition experts note that pasta’s higher protein and low glycemic properties can make it an efficient diet food; a Brown University study found people who ate pasta three times a week had lower cardiovascular risk. Key for weight control is sauce choice: avoid cream- and cheese-based sauces (high in calories and saturated fat) and prefer oil- or tomato-based sauces with vegetables like spinach, broccoli, arugula (루꼴라), tomato, or eggplant to boost fiber and reduce calories. Singer Kang Min-kyung also uses oyster pasta (굴 파스타) to manage weight—oysters add protein, iron, taurine, and zinc, and pairing them with arugula aids digestion, making the dish healthier.
