Shira Taki noodles?



Recommended Posts

I am craving noodles. This is the first time I have really wanted anything. Have any of you eaten Shira Taki noodles? They are zero everything basically. I would make a peanut sauce and put in some chicken. I would probably eat one bite lol.

I ear "Miracle Noodles" whenever the family is having Pasta or rice. The noodles really have no taste of their own, but will take on the taste of whatever you put over them.

The Miracle Noodle company will send you recipes if you ask or go online and get them.

Just be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse and then rinse miracle noodles before using them as they have a "strange" odor. Not a bad ordor--just strange.

They work for me. I hope you will give them a try.

Good luck. Let us know if you try them and your thoughts.

Prayers going up.

I enjoy Shirataki noodles. I completely agree that it's helpful to rinse them before you use them. They do indeed taste like whatever you cook with them. I use them in stir-fry and other Asian inspired meals.

I have tried and tried again. I have rinsed them, dried them in a pan, tried different brands, with different sauces, watched countless you tube videos on preparing them, I so wanted to like them. But I can't. I just can't do it. To me the texture is just downright disgusting. Chewy and gross, no matter what I tried. Gelatinous worms. I gave up.

Personal taste. Everyone should give them a try. If they work for you, I'm jealous. Me, I am OK with the occasional Atkins frozen Pasta meals and if I get the urge to actually cook Pasta, a tiny portion of Dreamfields will hit the spot. I have also done just fine with the noodles in Progresso Soups. I don't eat those often, but what I have had has not halted my progress.

Good luck :)

I buy Shirataki noodles all the time, I really like it and as others said, rinse, rinse, rinse. The texture is different, but I'm ok with it.

My main go too "pasta replacement" is roasted spaghetti squash. I buy the frozen turkey meatballs from trader joes for a quick meal w/marinara sauce or Pasta sauce(not a lot) and some Parm cheese & my spaghetti squash, viola! Spaghetti and meatballs

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
