I have Dreamfields elbows for mac and cheese about twice a month, and it doesn't affect my weight loss at all. It does seem to be alot more filling than regular pasta as I can hardly finish a small bowl of it, where as in my pre LC days I could down a jumbo bowl without breaking a sweat.

Since this is going to be a WOE for me for the long term I'm glad I can still have my mac and cheese every once and a while. I probably wouldn't eat it every day, but as a treat it's great. Plus it's one of the few LC products that they still sell in the regular grocery store.
