No noodles? No! NoOodles!

Posted by Marjolein Brugman on Tuesday, March 8, 2011

Glucomannan is a water-soluble, natural fiber that comes from the roots of an Asian perennial plant called Konjac.

Used for many years as a weight loss aid Glucomannan is said to increase fecal transit time, eliminate constipation, lower cholesterol and balance blood sugar.

The korm of the Konjac root has very little flavor and is valued more for its texture. When mixed with limewater, boiled and cooled it becomes a pale gelatinous noodle, which has been healthfully used for decades in Japanese cuisine.

Having been macrobiotic for 4 years of my life I was thrilled to find a commercial version of this remarkable food and am excited to share it with you today.

NoOodles™ are gluten free and entirely devoid of calories and when eaten with other foods, reduce the net caloric content of your whole meal.

This plain, non-caloric noodle substitute takes on the flavor of whatever you mix it with. Imagine your favorite pasta sauce, NoOodles™ and sprinkled cheese: a delicious guilt-free pasta dish without the calories and starch found in typical spaghetti.

Because NoOodles™ are made from Glucomannan, which is mostly water, you will feel full faster, for longer and your food will pass through your intestines in less time. The natural fiber will help to cleanse your intestines, proliferate the growth of friendly probiotics and eliminate constipation.

Try the following recipes and add a NoOodle™ dish in the place of one of your daily meals. You too may enjoy the health benefits of this decadent guiltless, calorie free pasta and possibly lose weight, reduce your cholesterol, balance your blood sugar, and feel fuller and more satisfied than usual.
