Noodles --- Zero Calories, Zero Carbs!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to try Miracle Noodle tonight and let you know how it is! There are two types of these noodles-- the tofu kind and the regular kind. I'm going to try the angel hair style regular kind. They are made from the root of some plant and is soluble Fiber, so there are no calories and no carbs. There is a recipe for them on YouTube by "Imskinnyinside" and I'm going to try a modified version of that.

From what I understand, when you open them there is a fishy smell, but all you have to do is rinse them thoroughly under running Water for about 5 minutes and pat them dry with paper towels and the fishy smell is gone. Also, I've read they are a little more chewy than Pasta and they're tasteless and will take on the taste of whatever sauce they are in.

I'm doing a low-carb diet to speed up my weight loss for a while, so I bought some Pasta Sauce that is 5 carbs per serving, some ground steak, and some mozzarella cheese and am going to do a Pasta bake. I'll let you know how it turns out later this evening!!

I occasionally make these too, they are not bad and just follow the direction, the fish smell is not much.

Okay, so I just had them. And they're really not bad as a zero cal zero carb replacement for Pasta. So it's true that they are rather tasteless, but take on the taste of the sauce. I made a meat sauce, mixed in the Pasta and put it in a casserole dish. Then I topped it with mozzarella cheese and put it in the oven on 350 for about 18 min.

One thing I will say is that since I was really hungry and hadn't eaten that much earlier, I ate them a bit too fast and didn't chew enough.... so they came back up. But I'm not saying they're not band-friendly. I think if I chewed properly they would've stayed down.

I might try them with Philly cooking cream soon.. Also, I was thinking about doing a Ramen noodle type dish with them. There are a lot of recipes out there, so I think I can have some good variety.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
