I eat Dreamfield's pasta about twice a week. It does not seem to trigger any cravings whatsoever, and does not cause me (personally) any weight gain. It does, however, seem to make me bloated and gassy (sorry!) just like other high carb pastas. It actually seems to help me lose, but I think that is just a by product of it adding some "bulk" to my diet as it tends to help...um...move things along...
