Anne Hathaway Ditches Soy Meat For Pasta And Pizza

Anne Hathaway looks pretty good in a catsuit in the new Batman sequel, The Dark Night Rises.
The actress follows a vegetarian diet and it may surprise some to know she loads up on pasta, an item once mistakenly looked down upon by health foodies because of the carb content, now known to actually be great for controlling hunger due to the body’s ability to digest it more slowly.
“I don’t go the soy-meat route; I have a really plant-based diet,” Hathaway told USA Today. “So I wind up cooking at home a lot. Kale is amazing. Spelt [a kind of wheat] pasta is amazing. I can’t do the white-flour stuff. It makes me really ill.”
Her other indulges include vegan pizza, something she celebrated with after shooting a fighting scene for The Dark Night Rises.
“After I finished the rooftop fight, I ate four slices of pizza and split a bottle of red wine with my guy. I hadn’t eaten like that in months. I felt so ill. By the time the movie finished, I decided to give veganism a try. You can’t go hog-wild as a vegan. You can eat a lot of pasta and have a few vegan pastries.”
Be a catwoman like Hathaway and extend your claws to grasp some spaghetti, soba or udon. Pasta’s glycemic index, a scale of how a food affects blood glucose levels, is much lower than other carb-rich items like breads. While most breads have a GI indext of 70-75, pasta’s GI score usually runs in the mid 50s. The lower the GI, the better the body is able to digest it slowly, leaving you feeling less hungry, healthier and able to maintain a healthier weight.
