Even Italians are falling out of love with pasta: Sales have fallen by 2% due to growing trend of low-carb diets!

Even the Italians are giving up on pasta, mirroring a pattern seen in Britain, with the rise of 'carbophobia'.

One in four Italians – 23 per cent - say they are limiting the amount of spaghetti they eat for health reasons.

This matches the UK where carbohydrate consumption has been demonised because of an association with obesity.

A shift towards protein rich diets has seen sales of bread, pasta, potatoes and rice fall in Britain and other developed nations.

And even Italy, the home of spaghetti, fusilli, pappardelle, tagliatelle, linguine and ravioli, is seeing the carb backlash.

    I'm finding it hard to cut back on pasta, I love the taste and texture, but I'm making the effort and eat only one pasta meal a week now, sometimes two if there were leftovers.
