A noodle that has zero carbs, zero calories and is gluten free? Blasphemy!
There’s carb-it-up pasta and then there’s the Miracle Noodle, also known as the shirataki miracle noodle, that is quite popular in Japan. It has made it to America and dieters everywhere are jumping on the Miracle Noodle bandwagon.
It’s made with water, glucomannan (soluble fiber) and a calcium addictive. The key to this low-carb noodle is soluble fiber, which slows digestion and therefore slows the absorption of glucose. Anything high in fiber will also make you feel fuller and hopefully you will eat less. Each serving contains 2.5 grams of soluble fiber.
Weightloss warriors are becoming hooked on The Miracle Noodle. For weightloss it is suggested to replace one meal with the Miracle Noodle. It is also beneficial for those with type II diabetes.
Besides adding more fiber to your diet The Miracle Noodle has no other nutritional value. It has no fat, protein, carbs or sugar. It’s just a filler. If you chose to add this to your diet I would be sure to prepare it with tons of vegetables and lean meat like chicken or beef. I have tried these Miracle Noodles before. They come in a clear plastic pouch filled with water. They are quick to prepare and have a chewy, gelatin-like consistency. They are tasteless and will need a lot of flavor to make them interesting.
A ten 7-oz packages will cost you $21.99 plus $9.89 for shipping at miraclenoodle.com. They are available in angel hair, fettucini, orzo, mini-pearls, rigatoni and more.
