Low Carb Pasta



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

Was looking up options for low carb Pasta and came across something called miracle noodles (www.miraclenoodles.com).......has anyone tried them? Would you recommend this product? Are there any other types of low carb pastas that you can suggest?

I don't do Pasta at all anymore. I do Zoodles (zucchini noodles). They're yummy! I don't even miss pasta.

I use shiritaki noodles. They have no calories and are made from yam. You can get them at any Asian or health food store. They taste a bit off to me, but I cover them in sauce.

I have eaten then in the past and they are ok but if it's just bulk then I'm not sure that they are useful with WLS. They are low carb but do they have any nutritional value? Protein?

I make the zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. Everyone likes them.

These noodles are made from chickpeas so they are lower in carb and have good Protein. I've read they are really good.

I bought some edemame spagetti noodles at the local health food store. I haven tried them yet, but they are 200 cals a serving and 24g of Protein.

Yuck! I don't like squash. I've had it many ways over the years and the only time that I found it passable was zucchini and pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie or zucchini relish.

I have tried them. They smell kibd of weird and fishy.....not too bad though. They come in different shapes but all have the same texture of a glass noodle....if youre familiar. Like a clear noodle in some Oriental foods. They basically take on the flavor of the sauce on them. It is not really a spaghetti style noodle....more like ramen.

I love them, but it took years of learning to cook them right. First you rinse them to death and then dry fry them. I like to use curry sauces with them. The spinach and tofu versions are nicer than the straight yam ones.

I use Protein Pasta on the VERY rare occassion I have Pasta. Maybe 3 times in the past 16 months and even then just a couple of dessert spoons and after I have got my Protein in.

I've had miracle noodles (which are shiritaki). They are alright but I didn't find them terribly enjoyable. I much prefer riced cauliflower or steamed cauliflower as a Pasta substitute. Once sleeved, I see them becoming virtually useless as an addition to your diet. They will take up pouch space and provide nothing in return as they have no nutritional value.

However, I do use the cauliflower version of things to get rid of any pasta-like wants. Or I just make whatever pasta-y dish, only without the actual Pasta haha.

        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
