Kinetic Spaghetti Bolognese (Kinetic Nutrition Fitness)

If you're like me and many people of the world, you probably love Italian food, especially spaghetti. As delicious as it is, spaghetti or pasta is what's known as a refined carbohydrate, which has been stripped of its fiber and other nutrients. This is then what's known as an empty calorie which provides our bodies energy with no nutritional density. These refined empty carbohydrates can actually lead to overeating as they are digested much faster than carbohydrates that still have their fiber and this can lead to an increase in your appetite causing you to eat more. I love taking some of the most classic dishes of certain cuisines such as Italian food & putting my own spin on them recreating a much healthier version that I can enjoy guilt free without compromising the amazing taste they have to offer. My Kinetic Spaghetti Bolognese taste is a 10/10, low carb, & low calorie. I hope you try this recipe & enjoy it guilt free because it has over 5 vegetables in it!
