If I am going to have noodles which I admit is rare, I use konjac noodles which are pretty much zero carb and lots of fibre. You do have to rinse them really well to get rid of the preservative liquid they are in but they just take a couple of mins in the microwave. I sometimes use them as spaghetti with bolognaise sauce as well as noodles or you can also get konjac rice to have with chilli or curry.

That's the biggest problem with the Konjac products they don't smell to good and rinsing them can take forever to get rid of the smell and taste

You do have to be quite thorough with the rinsing 🙄 , but I find them perfectly acceptable and edible and so much lower carb than any other substitute. Probably even lower carb than spiralized courgette I believe!

Yes I've had both the rice and noodles but it's the time consuming rinsing that puts me off of buying again as for spiralized courgette no a fan of that at all tried it but not for me

What about edamame bean spaghetti? I prefer it to konjak.

Made chicken shawarma yesterday (well I made it on Sunday and left it to marinate). It was really tasty. This is the recipe I followed. As it's low carb, I allowed myself pitta to stuff it into. I highly recommend it!

I know I have a thread opened for this, but I still need to get all my test info together. Might as well post some food pics here in the interim period.

@Leadinglights @Billy Bob
The edamame stuff arrived from the shops and I was surprised by it. Only tried a little but it tasted pretty good with no bg impact.

I'm going to have a full portion at lunch to see what it's impact actually is.

Tho I do have to say I don't mind the konjac but I've only ever liked it when other people make it, when I've tried myself it's a bit awful. the main problem (whom ever makes it) is stomach issues it causes when eating a small portion of it.
