[twiggy137]

most of the noodles they sell have 0 carbs. i bought the variety pack. takes a little extra time to prepare. but tastes good.

I bought some for the first time last week and was amazed at how good they are! Last night I had them with a broccoli and prawn stir-fry and it was so delicious!

The noodles are a good 'legal' food but do make sure you count for the veg and/or cheese amounts in them.

I am fairly sure that the noodles made just from glucomann aka konjak are made from the same vegetable as jicama so should count towards your 2-3 cups of 'salad veg' on induction.

The noodles made part from glucomann and part from tofu should be counted as part of your veg count and your cheese count, as Dr Atkins included what he called 'soy cheese' but which we call tofu as being one of the allowed cheeses on induction.

I cannot find these anywhere. I have tried Von's, Trader Joes, Sprouts...... any suggestions? I live in Southern California. THanks in advance.

I can't remember what phase of Atkins you are in, DBL but unless it is tofu in them they would not be 'legal' till the legumes rung/level of OWL

im at rung 1 im at 25g of carbs a day i havent got my book yet im still waiting it should be here i pretty sure im on the right track with all of your help thanks and i was so scared that i was going to knock myself out of ketosis when i went up to 25g that was what was keeping me wanting to stay in induction im glad i moved on

[Elizellen]

I am glad to hear you have managed to get over the block that many of us have about moving out of the safe environment of induction into the scarey unexplored territory of OWL

Are you guys talking about Shirataki noodles?
Shirataki Noodles (Konnyaku) from the Low Carb Megastore UK the home of Sugar Free and Lowcarb shopping

I love them with tomato, garlic, onion, courgette, and bacon sauce and topped with cheese - yum! Just ordered ten packets!!

You have to boil them for 10 mins prior to cooking to get rid of the fishy smell.

10/10 from me. x
