On a Low Carb Diet, and like pasta and chips??


The bottom line easiest and fastest way to lose weight is to go on a low carb diet, Period! The problem with Low carb diet for some is the love of crunchy foods, bread and pasta.. Well, in the last month or so I came across a "Miracle" Pasta. It is a japanese noodle called Shiritaki. It is a Carb Free, almost calorie Free pasta. You can get a 7oz package for about $1.99 and it only has about 30 calories and 2G of fiber to go with about 2G of protein. The great thing about this noodle is that it absorbs the flavor of whatever you are cooking even though the pasta itself is relatively tasteless. You can find Shiritaki at any Asian market and there are tons on Lamar. Make sure you look in the cold section by the Tofu. It is in a bag filled with water and almost ready to eat.

A second great find is a Veggie Chip. On a low carb diet you can basically eat all the "Green Vegetables" you want which also include onions, zucchini, green beans, peas, etc. What you can do is take your favorite veggies, season them with Sea Salt, and Olive oil. Then put them in the oven and let them bake for about 6-8 hours.. the result will be crunchy veggies that are a great chip replacement.
