Most of you low-carbers are probably getting pretty used to living without Pasta. Today I ordered some carb free, gluten free, wheat free pasta.... Yeah - I am anxious to see what it tastes like too! The reviews look pretty good. I found a recipe but thought I would try them first to see if it is something wonderful or not. I found this one with 4 separate bags of the Angel Hair Pasta for $10 - and free shipping. I will post back and let you know what I thought.
I picked up this tidbit from wikipedia (not so much about the weight loss as it is for the love of pasta):
"
Glucomannan is also the main ingredient in shirataki noodles and konnyaku which are traditional Japanese foods. These products are made from the ground corm of the konjac plant. These natural products have been eaten in Japan for centuries. Because of the fiber content and health benefits, they are known as the "broom of the intestine" in Japan. They are now being marketed for weight loss and other health benefits in the United States and worldwide due to the low calorie count."
I don't miss pasta too much on low carb but I miss me some crackers! Have you ever noticed that there is nothing crunchy on low carb except bacon?
