Do you think that eating pasta most of the time gives you a great chance of gaining weight?

Yes pasta can be very fattning.It is a starch witch stores in your body as sugar just like any red meat will do.

Thanks for this. Since it's starch I think we can just decrease our consumption of some other starchy foods and just enjoy pasta. Will this work?

Yes, reduce your intake on bread and potatoes but just don't eat too much pasta and always run it under cold water then hot water when its done too take some starches off and it prevents sticking. A myth about pasta is putting oil in the water that doesn't work all u need is salt in the water.
