so is konjac noodles okay on keto well another
name for konjac noodles would be miracle noodles or shirataki noodles now this is really popular in
asia japan and china but it's made its way over to the us and uh it's totally keto friendly 97 of
it is water it's like this gel that swells up and three percent is fiber and
yes fiber is a carbohydrate but it doesn't have any effect on insulin because
it's non-digestible your microbes will live on it the type of fiber is called glucomannan and
there's some interesting effects of this fiber it can act as a detox it can help with
weight loss there's several studies and also it can help loosen mucus the thing is
when you consume these noodles first of all the flavor is flavorless there's like no flavor so you
have to add some things to it it's not the same texture as the regular pasta noodle unfortunately
but it's similar okay and the other point is that you may get really thirsty when you consume
this because it's going to swell up with water so you just want to drink some more water
it'll hold like 50 times its weight in water it decreases hunger because it decreases this
hormone ghrelin okay that has to do with hunger it also can help stabilize your blood sugars
plus the fiber being digested by the microbes helps to increase certain small chain fatty acids
that help your blood sugars as well it can also help constipation but most people consume just a
small amount so they're not going to notice that unless you consume like like huge huge amounts
again it has no calories because it's a fiber so you don't have to worry about it affecting
your keto plan at all there are two other types of noodle substitutes that i do like as well
spaghetti squash and zucchini noodles so you might want to check these out and definitely
