Shirataki Noodles
Love noodles but hate the carbs? Then we’ve got good news for you. Shirataki Noodles, made from konjac root, a plant grown in Japan and shaped into noodles, is rich in the fiber, glucomannan. The fiber is viscous and makes one feel full longer, decreasing hunger between meals. It also lowers ghrelin, a hormone known to play a part in creating hunger pangs.
Aside from controlling hunger, Shirataki noodles have been shown to lower blood sugar levels after eating, improving risk factors for heart disease in people with diabetes and with metabolic disorders.
These noodles are low in carbohydrates and calories, making them a perfect substitute to white rice and pasta.
