Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I Found a noodle with only 19 Net carbs!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I dont know if anyone is interested in this but if you go on the Atkins website they sell :

Penne

11 grams of Protein

1 gram of sugar

and only 19 grams of Net Carbs....you get net carbs by subracting the Fiber and polyols from total carbs. The Atkins website explains it !!!!!

Isnt that realllly good.???? I mean Im new to this and cant even eat food yet . But do you guys think this is good. Considering Pasta has 42 grams of carbs!

I bought it at Raleys in the Pasta section, you can also get it at Safeway , Save Mart and Bel Air...I also bought some on line...Netrition.com.

I fix a quarter of a cup dry for a serving, then add Protein and sauce... I have also used it for Pasta salad with boiled egg... I like the elbows. I have also bought the angel hair and the penne, but have not tried them yet.

I also use the dreamfields Pasta, and during my losing stage I used spaghetti squash for a pasta substitute. My husband and kiddo didn't even realize that I had used half spaghetti squash and half regular dreamfield noodles. They just thought I was being creative. Of course, I disposed of the evidence of the squash before they were home, and could figure it out, but neither of them complained and ate it right up.

To this day I have never given spaghetti squash a try. What does it taste like? What is the consistency like? If it's really mushy I probably won't like it, I'm more al dente here. I have been meaning to give it a go but when it comes down to it, I've not looked for it when I'm grocery shopping.

Also, that is an excellent idea - doing half/half with the lo-carb noodles!!

You can actually change the texture/consistency with how you prepare it. I baked mine wrapped in foil and I would say that I like more mushy consistency noodles so probably too much for your preference, but you can play with them and figure out what works best for your texture preferences.

I've seen people talk about microwaving them with holes punched throughout it, and that kind of steams it more than baking it. They come in all different sizes and are super affordable. I can say that they reheat well, and it really does absorb whatever you put with it. I'm a major texture person, and those Shirataki noodles had me puking, and that was a combo of texture and smell. No matter how much I washed/rinsed those boogers, I wanted to hurl.

These are the two recipes I have used with success in my home:

I recommend reading the reviews so you can tweak these to your preferences on texture/consistency. Size of spaghetti squash will change cooking/baking time, and you can cook half at a time to test the waters.

This first one, I baked some chicken breast that I had butterflied and stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, feta, and roasted red peppers mixture, brushed with garlic butter TOTALLY TO DIE FOR RECIPE!

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-spaghetti-squash-with-beef-and-veggies/detail.aspx

In this one, I used some skirt steak( fajita seasoned) I had instead of ground beef, and I added a can of Mild rotel instead of diced tomatoes, and it ended up being a more Mexican style casserole vs. Italian (I add a little chili powder and cumin instead of basil and oregano). We are just not big spaghetti family so making it more Mexican flare suited our tastes better.

Me too! A good friend always cuts it in half and covers it in EVOO, Salt/Pepper and Parm cheese and then bakes it! It sounds good but I HATE other squash so I haven't made myself try it yet! LOL

I too use Dreamfields and to me it tastes just like regular "full" pasta!!

Okay, why is this the first time I hearing about this Dreamfields ??? Sheesh!! I catch myself looking at all the Nut Facts on pastas all the time!! Always the last to know...

As far as squash, I don't hate it. I really do like it - but to use it for spaghetti, I have been hesitant on it. I will give all the ideas a try. Thanks ladies! :)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
